Sherry is celebrating poetry month, beginning with compressed poetry. Here’s a portion of one for today, from “Winter Is Coming” by Waverley Turner Carmichael.

De frost is fallin’ on de gras’

An’ seem to say “Dis is yo’ las’”—

De air is blowin’ mighty cold

Like it done in days of old.

Or like it done in Minnesota

and then again in Chattanooga.
