Best Hibernate Poems

Chill has filled the air
frost has formed upon the ground
leaves have begun to fall
aches and pains have settled in
I'm heeding nature's call

make way for the bear
the grouse, the blue tit mouse
It's time to disappear
let's hibernate 
and return again next year...

March blizzard blindside
Endless creeping stalagmites
Bears late to the feast...

Winter bends low to blow gusty breaths, cold,
out of his northern lair beyond the warm
of summer’s enfolding. Capricious, bold
he plans his escapades of icy storm.
Clutching for a covering, nature gasps,
trembling in a landscape grown terrible;
ice-brittle moisture ricochets and rasps
on soft skin with rough strokes unbearable.
Firesides...

Around us all doth changeth as Autumn slowly tiptoes in
Unbeknown exactly were the squirrels hide their winter nuts
To eat when there is nothing, on winter’s coldest days ahead
Ubiquitous hedgehogs hibernate for winter’s longest sleep 
My mind not looking forward to dark and dismal nights ahead
Now...

If only I could hibernate
To awaken in the spring
To see sweet swathes of snowdrops
A welcome sign as spring begins
With daffodils and hyacinths
And tulips on their way
And pretty blue forget me nots
In gentle breeze shall dance and sway
The sun she rises higher in the cloudless bluest...

Dark at four thirty 
I can hear my bed calling 
Let’s all hibernate....

satisfy insects
gathered they there homes below
grounds level sleeping

lo, gathering ants
in fall already collects
life support visage

toil burrow down more
deep, deep into the warm soil
some die O winter

grounds level sleeping
gathered they there homes below
hibernate insects

What are your most winterish
critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?
Why not their corresponsive
therapies
for restoring EarthJustice?

Please go on
and on
questioning my questions
seemingly without end,
like an arctic wind-blown 
starless night
in eternally restless January.

As you say,
and, but for this grand analogy,
you would pay dearly
for your...

Ageing retainer
losing hearing
and codependent consciousness
in this silent sacred season
snoring snowy wonder

A winterish hibernating memory,
Dreams of globally peaceful slumber
resolving GoldenRules 
engaging compassionately personal 
political powering plunder
and mortal offending self-righteousness

Getting mine
while I still can

Revisiting now absent win/win sensory Spring
of outdoor lusty,
wildly crusty
sacred wonder
as I snow-bound 
OldMan wander
into...
