Best Hibernating Poems

A hibernating badger awoke

      And said, "If this is Spring it's a joke,

      "This is no fun,

      "I can't see the sun."

      And went back...

Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering unpaid taxes
to invest, instead,
in WinWin EcoPolitical Cooperative Ownership
for Health-As-Wealth EcoRegional...

I made a U turn at dusk as dark night creeps  upon me
I tried to catch my breath from the horrible smell that was stifling me inside
I did not know which way to turn but my intuition was my guide
It led me towards the...

Delightful muse, end for me
your dormancy in twenty-three.
Inside myself the churning gusts
of winter thoughts on paper must
be released, un-bosomed, loosed.
So, wake up beloved muse!
Continued sleeping's pure abuse
upon an old soul shut away
inspired by plenty more to say.

Fill my head with words alive
such that my poet...

dredging of the mind
banishing demons
new awareness
birth of a revolution
prismatical mirroring 
of hope
tempting yet repelling
shades of deep winter
looming and crouching
hibernating for a
blissful spring...

cooler sun
colder days
come indoors
where it’s warm

as a recluse 
life’s just great
bundle up
and stay indoors

leave bad weather
in your backyard
where it belongs
that's why it's called
the great outdoors

Soft feathered-ticking mattress
(Old-fashioned country comfort)
Not found in our local furniture store
At least in my neighborhood anymore
Only rubbery foam-like bedding suits,
Feels like lounging on cardboard
When sound sleep is slow coming
So, yes, I am complaining about it.
Oh, how I miss the pure joy of downy
Fleece on my...

I’ve been hibernating for this period
And in my slumber, I have simply seen shadows
The music is quieter
But the lights are brighter
The lines down my face reveal my secrets
I have been hiding
Listening to jazz and feeding my frenzy
In a black shirt and broken sandals
I have been...

butterflies disperse 
locust hibernate as new

In my dreams, sitting by the fire, listening
To the sigh of winter’s whispering
Just beyond the window, a mystery
Breathing laughter through the heavens
In stars, shimmering messily, like they
Know what it is to be glowing just beyond
The reach of the sun, in the shadows
They erase every doubt...

This is the rest of our lives
Yet they pin us down
Do it, they say
Be whatever, however
Be with whomever, however
Just to have a title
And not to be questioned
Because of these damned timelines

Don't rush us
We actually have nowhere to be 
We don't have to actually belong
There, at...

Autumn leaves, one by one they come tumbling down
Twisting and turning like ballerinas all around
Perfectly landing on the ground
Shades of gold, orange and red can be found
Like a patched quilt, the leaves lay abound
Stepping on them, enjoying the crisp crackling sound

Then the icy breeze would...

waiting it out
closing the door
till sunny days come
