When it rain
It pours
Troubles?
I got plenty.
Three cars
All broken down
And one that
Should be
Looking for shorts
In an old farmhouse
Fixing it back up
Because it was
my husband’s
Childhood home
Trying to hatch
Out chicks
With shorts in the house
Two rooms electric
Completely turned off
Until we find the wire
Causing the shorts
One child still
In school
One a young adult
Still living at home
Five dogs
Running around
Two cats
Fighting for territory
Seven hens
Pecking out insects
And an old gravel drive
In need of major repair
Woes I got them to spare
But today I just don’t care
Not as long as I have my coffee

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.
