Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Cold Water, A Poem.
Cold Water
Water flowing past the rock,
Mist is rising ’round the flock
Of little ducks swimming there,
With winter’s cold in the air.
Here along the river shore,
The cold I feel even more.
Yet here they swim, morn to night,
In such cold, ’tis quite a sight.
While I sit the sun does shine
Warming this cold face of mine.
In such cold ’tis nice to see,
Water that is still ice free!

Thanks so much Eugenia! We have 16F here this morning, not bad considering how much further north we are. I actually didn’t think it would get that cold down there.😀😺🌞☕☕

Yes, it gets pretty cold here but it doesn’t last long compared to where you are. We are in North Georgia and the cold air comes down from the mountains. There has already been some snow in the cities north of us.

I don’t mind the weather here because there are 4 seasons and they are pretty mild compared to other places.

Delightful poem Steve! Water and cold make for quite a contrast to people not accustomed to winter. I hope the river remains ice-free for as long as possible.

Thanks so much for your kind words! This part of the river never freezes, no matter how cold it gets. Sometimes a bit of ice shows up along the shore when the temp gets down to the -30 to -40 range. The current is just too strong. Same on the lake, parts of it always say ice free due to the current. It is kind of strange looking in such a cold part of the country though.

I love rivers. They are so beautiful wide or narrow rough or smooth. There’s nothing like a river but I’ve yet to see a frozen river. :0

Lots of frozen rivers up this way, though in this upper section of the river it never freezes no matter how cold it gets. But it might freeze a bit more than usual since the water is very low this year so there is less current. Rivers are amazing!
