I am writing
from Nairobi
in East Africa
where we're all from
and each day here
has twelve hours
of light and warmth
Forgive me
if I don't want to return
to the cold

I am ready to return to where I came from-- may I join you?
John,
Nice poem-especially love that middle stanza.
Ask Louise May or Jason Low for a copy of WE by Alice Schertle (http://www.leeandlow.com/books/130/hc/we)
It's all about our origins there where you are now. Also, it's very poetic/lyrical writing.
Store up the warmth inside you!
Hi John,
Would love to hear more about your trip to Nairobi when you return to the cold!
I love this, John.
I don't blame you, John, for not wanting to return to the cold. We've had a heavy snowstorm since you've left. Perhaps you will bring spring with you when you return.
