It’s Saturday
It’s late
and we should be in town
Singing to the music from the speakers above the crowd
It’s Saturday
Your hands behind your head
kicked back the way you do
the dog curled up in bed
It’s Saturday
And I’m saying something like “We’re old”
as I slide into my slippers and your sweater
because it’s cold
It’s Saturday
The T.V.’s on
I flip through the stations
you boil water on the stove
And we could warm up the car
or give a friend a call
It’s the weekend after all
But it’s Saturday
and there’s no way
I would trade the nook of your arm
for great seats and half drunk beer
Yes, It’s Saturday
and there’s no way
you could get me out of here
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... 
Love this. It’s exactly how I (and I’m sure other Dakotans) feel when the wind is howling outside and the fire is crackling inside.
Thanks for sharing your gift.
Thanks for stopping by. Bundle up and stay warm!
Oh, I love this poem and OH! How I know this feeling. The images were a fantastic companion to your words.
SO grateful I found you via the Potluck today!

Winter in ND–been there, done that. I’m with you, stay inside and snuggle up!

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look. Here’s to a happy weekend (only one day away)
perfect post, made me feel like this monday night was a saturday (:
Don’t you wish every night was Saturday night? 🙂
haha this is nice! here’s my potluck in case you have not read~ http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/broken-home/
thanks fiveloaf. Love you simple, powerful poem.
Your pictures bring out the few redeeming qualities of the raw and seemingly eternal winter season: white landscapes blending with white skies to form seamless white horizons, warm sunbeams cutting through cold windows to join warm climates indoors, and pets cooped up long enough to snap a photo or two : )
you hit it on the head square, that white landscape…sky…horizon has been what this canvas looks like for a few weeks now. But oh, when the sun shines, even if it is frigidly cold, nothing sparkles quite like it. Have a great day.
What lovely rhythm, rhyme and imagery! I’d stay inside Saturday too if the cold wind howled at me. 🙂
My Potluck Poem: Mood Rings of the Future
Thanks Rhyme for stopping in and hunkering down with me. It’s cold, but I always like a good excuse to snuggle up in my wool socks. Thanks for the link to your site.
These pictures exude peacefulness. I feel calmer just looking at them. And I love, love, love the one of the cat looking out the window.
Thanks Stacia. There is nothing like knowing you are inside when it’s cold and there is nowhere you need to go, nowhere else you want to be. Stay warm!
