WINTER is...
Wearing woolly jumpers,
Inside days,
Nose-tip dripping,
Table games,
Early off to bed,
Reading books.
WINTER is...
Wiggling toes warming up
In my room as the heater blows.
Noses are nippy out in the cold.
Try on the boots: “Too small!” “Too old!”
Eating a pie with lots of sauce... and then...
Running off with a soccer ball.
Seems like only yesterday we carved our names in the bark of an old oak,
Each letter was a promise of tomorrow and forever, dreams of our future together~
Endless time, though each moment flitted by like a firefly at twilight,
Moving in and out of focus as we tried to catch the starlit skies
So close and yet so far.
Lightly did the world rest
In our love like a feather
Keeping us warm in the fabric of time,
Each moment creating a memory.
Years pass by and are scattered like leaves in the autumn breeze
Entering at the cold threshold of winter, the fabric no longer keeps us warm,
Seams start to unravel as life becomes a threadbare rag where beauty once created patterned
Tapestries of color,
Each thread wrapped around the presence of your laughter and spirit of you becoming one with me~
Roughly life has taken the half of me that was you,
Death is the curtain through which you have passed and through which I will soon follow,
Afterward the stars may write our epilogue as we journey in realms unseen,
Yet our names will remain carved in the bark of that old oak.
Rustling winds
always precede a winter storm.
Ice, as sleet, comes next,
Never fails.
NOVEMBER 2022
Rightly so, the poppies flood
Early in the winter sky
Merrily stood in field, and this
Existence of mine has passed by
Maybe they'd watch us contend
But are authorities ever sober?
Early now, in Winter's sky
Realise how they owed her
Unwillingly ignorant to the loss, they'll be
Scorching their retinas, a veil of red
Relaxing, Sitting in my rocking chair-
my big Umbrella shading wind and sun,
beside this Mirrored lake without a care
for Me means summer joy has now begun.
As ducklings Ease their path below the tree,
the wind chimes Ring a chant which settles me.
I close my eyes to feel The peaceful bliss-
while frigid chills of winter, I dismiss.
For Me, this season of the year is prime;
so thankful for Earth's days of Summertime.
Winter has a captivating beauty for me
In my snowy world all is still and surreal
Nothing is as restful as exquisite pristine snow
Today graceful, fragile, flakes are falling
Every step is pure white as I walk in the cold
Reveries of winter birds saturate the air
Rather should the winter never end,
If I should meet the spring without thy hand.
The seasons our souls do summers send,
And all do fall upon our hearts’ command.
W-atch the birds of winter
I-n their wild freedom joy
N-estled in night's frigid presence
T-hen gathering sustenance at dawn
E-ndearing at the bird feeders
R-oyal cardinal and his wife
GET your
SUGAR from the cupboard of your heart and winter kiss my wavering thoughts like the first snowflake to fall
HONEYED with passion your words of affirmation always bring warmth to the frost biting at everything I’m trying to pick up
ICING my past like white cake served by a slave with stone cold emotions, with sweet
TEA because I’m from the south with dreams traveling North
TOGETHER we will make love beautiful again
p.s. when my head is weighed down her kiss carries the weight…
The darkness of All Hallow's Eve
Ring out this night of soulful bells
In-between worlds of dark and light
Celtic, priestly, celebrations
Kindred spirits fear mournful ghosts
Old church cemetery, pitchfork straw
Ritual cakes of christened folks
Tended fires and saintly relics
Readiness for rural winter
English Russet apple bobbing
All souls gathered around the flames
Turnip lanterns with candle-wax
Summer dims down in search of cold weather
Elements shifting and changing the mood
People spend more time inside together
Time to prepare for winters attitude
Evening now starts earlier each day
Moving closer to the brand new season
Boys and girls back to school recess to play
Elevating young minds for right reasons
Routines come back to family members
Fall officially returns at months end
Autumns leaves wilt right into December
Lazily floating in Septembers wind
Listen to the whispers as winter calls
September is the month when summer falls

Squirrels are gathering; nuts to bury
Eagerly digging, for warm earth is soft
Painted, a sky in hues that are many
This golden glister is scattered aloft
Even autumnal, as thin sun rides low
Men strut in T-shirts, ignoring the chill
Beauties all bare what they dare… one last show
Enjoying the looks laid upon them still
Ripened and ready are these orchard fruits
Falling for fear of remaining unpicked
An autumn frost cometh, a winter hint
Leaving some lying like leaves to be kicked
Lovers on sheepskin, a stove that burns wood
Soft music playing: September is good
Shedding of leaves
Every flower fading
Petals drooping
Temperatures declining
Early morning mists
Moments of weak sunlight
Birds chirping uneasily
Each day with winter on its way
Red,yellow and brown leaves
Fruits in need of gathering
Acres shorn of their golden wheat
Limpid waters fretted with thin ice
Lots of leaves in heaps
Summer now but a memory.
Drying up raindrops on window panes,
Accumulations of wet puddles in spring.
Yielding ample ripe fruits of hope on
Saturnine days; adding a touch of warmth
To frigid-cold winter, to the autumn breeze,
And ushering in halcyon days of summer.
Radiant sun, shining bright through the seasons
She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor: “Winter is dead.”
—A. A. Milne
Y our old-fashioned lemony pie
E specially with meringue
L uxurious curd of citrusy yellow
L ight hue that exudes energy
O stentatious and tempting dessert
W insome jaunty, yellowy, crusty delight
