Cabin Fever (aka… I hate these pink foam panels…)

Acrostic Poetry - February 1, 2009

(Unrhymed verse in which the letters of the topic are written vertically letter by letter, each of which is used to construct a phrase or a sentence that describes the topic.)

Cabin Fever:

Cabin fever in the dead of winter

Absolutely drives me crazy,

Because we have these pink,

Insulating foam panels to keep out the bitter cold.

Never does ice now form on our windows (which is good)

For they are completely blocked, but no sunshine can

Enter, ever…until the panels are taken down…when the outdoor temp. rises.

View the pond I cannot, nor can I see snowfall, and it is dark inside…

Ever dark, although with a Pepto Bismol pink glow when the sun shines.

Rejoice, I will, when the panels come down in March…
