"Spellbinding beauty holds you, neither you nor I can tell if it is willingly."
Quote by poet.

Pulchritudinousness, the beauty beheld
Uncaptured with looks unparalleled
Likened to mythical being, nymph perhaps

Jailed at home by a white, frozen world
Adorned by one unmindful Jack Frost.
Ceramic ice was recklessly hurled,
Kicking bitter, beast-winter across
Fields, woods, yards and modern built cities.
Rejoicing nature rules us as boss,

Standing on my doorstop at home
Taken aback my gloves are lost

Going too fast I went past them
Leaving them behind somewhere
Originating a fear that they’re gone
Very calmly I went back to look

If I were a horticulturalist like Sam Van Aken

I would set...

The lessons we learn
in life from others,
thus, make us warm...
are not always our friends
        I Warn,
Caution should be taken
when we have mistaken,
someone that helps you
out of a jam to stop aken
"Brother & Sister you know"...
