With the cold weather outside, and inspired by Robert Heinlein's book of the same name, where is the door...?
The Door into Summer
(A Villanelle)
The cold winter snows, this I mind
I am the cat that is walking alone
And the door into summer, I shall find
Windows coated with frost so unkind
I curl up sleeping, near the hearthstone
The cold winter snows, this I mind
In darkness I walk, others are blind
Cat's eyes see a spectral unknown
And the door into summer, I shall find
I try the front door, but I am confined
Still snowing heavy, my exit postponed
The cold winter snows, this I mind
I try a backdoor, still snow divined
There is no escape, this I bemoan
And the door into summer, I shall find
On my owners lap, there I reclined
Outside the wind whistles and moans
The cold winter snows, this I mind
And the door into summer, I shall find.
