A
Day of All Seasons
Last night when I went to bed
it felt somewhat warm so I wore
cotton summer pajamas lavender
with tiny purple flowers and lace.
When it turned quite chilly
overnight
I reached for my quilt without
waking
slept soundly until that noisy
wren
sang me awake.
The day begins with a turtleneck
top
and stretch workout tights
later change into jeans for
shopping
keep the turtleneck and add a
jacket.
By lunchtime, shun the jeans in
favor of shorts
replace the turtleneck with a tank
top
perfect for doing a little light
yard work
keep a long sleeve shirt nearby
just in case.
That lasted until the evening
news.
Shorts and tank no longer
appropriate
turtleneck and tights
a better choice in the evening’s
chill.
It’s bedtime again.
What to wear?
Thermal pajamas seem more prudent
feels like it will get chilly
again tonight.
Look at that pile of clothes—
turtleneck, tank top, jacket,
shorts, jeans, workout tights,
long sleeve shirt and cotton
summer PJs
all worn on this day of all
seasons.
