“Thy breath be rude,” William Shakespeare told winter in his pastoral comedy “As You Like It.”
Many famous poets and writers have given artistic voice to their angst over the nastiness of winter, but few have put pen to paper to wax poetic about the joys of a warm winter day like the one we're having today.
So we turn to you, dear readers. Does today's respite from Old Man Winter make your heart burst and inspire you to wax poetic? Share with us your odes, limericks, haikus, couplets, lyrics, quatrains, epigrams and sonnets about how today makes you feel.
After all, it's Chicago and it's winter. We should celebrate a break from the bleariness that John Updike conveys in “January:”
The days are short,
The sun a spark
Hung thin between
The dark and dark.
