Poetmother 4 Backs The Cold



During cold is when I'm potent,
the sap comes
back
to me.
Then as the warmth comes
back,
the sap goes
back
to leaves and scents,
and I am back
impotent.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Michael Walker 17 August 2020

An unexpected situation, the opposite of what you would expect. To feel virile in winter, why not? Why not be potent in spring and summer also? A poem which makes a statement and asks questions. Excellent.
