Premium Member Shivering Squirrel (Winter of '73) For James Marshall Goff
What am i doing
I'm a squirrel in the cold
I should have listened to my mam
And done what i was told

But not me you see
I wanted to go into town
To look for nuts and goodies
Until a strong wind blew me down

I fell into a corner
All white...

Premium Member Naked, Shivering
there… solitary
on the street corner she stands
naked, shivering
~*~

Note:  Sorry, but there's no mystery here.  There is a little oak tree on the street corner (I've taken photos of her since her leaves began to change colors).  Then two days ago after a...

Premium Member Sun Setting Over the Dark Green Fringe of a Shivering Lake
Sun setting over the dark green fringe of a shivering lake on the last day of winter
An old man still unbent sits on a deserted wooden bench
   with the load of his cares on his convex-ed back
   beside him a plastic...

A Shivering
so much of stress
so many things happening around me
am feeling of so much pressure
my preparations are over
still not getting confidence
a feeling of being tensed
my head is washed away
I can't remember anything
A dream of standing amidst a vast crowd
so many questions are asked
but am answering nothing
I...

Premium Member Shivering Applause
We lie beneath a bed of endless snow
a dream in frozen fantasy imbued
await the barking call of blue-black crow
to join again the festival renewed
bask in the sun amid cold water's flow
and brashly flaunt our brilliance un-subdued.
So do the buds in shivering applause
bid curtain call to...

Shivering Friend
shivering friend where have you been?
are you lost in a dream somewhere?
shivering friend i'm here till the end,
if you leave might you take me there?
shivering friend it's cold in the snow,
if your lonely will you let me know?
shivering friend you're sad i know,
but the sun...

We Are Shivering In the Hot Wind
dry wells of summer
fill with borrowed
love
dark books of torture
torn flags of deceits
procession of
greeds
we are shivering in
the hot wind...

Winter shivering

Sitting in a warm room
Comfortable, so good
Just look out the window
Cloudy December, so cold
Shaking, freezing, room gone

March Covers the Tiny, Shivering Buds With Frost
March covers the tiny, shivering buds
with frost, soon they'll adorn women's hair 
to attract mates who seek an intimate affair;
some guys like dark hair, others like blonde hair,
its the choice of brooms, of certain studs
who prefer ladies who dress with a distinctive flair!

You eat it but outside cold

His Wife Shivering With Cold
Gideon is trembling with fear
His wife shivering with cold;
Some chattering sounds to bear;
A discomfort from The Cold
Now learnt a fitting lesson;
A bucketful to now heat
“Menthol at home a blessing 
To Life-Threatening Cold beat!?
He is near Seventy-Eight;
Agnes’ loss would be a weight?...

Spring, please hurry and clothe shivering trees
with lovely birdsongs and lilac-touched leaves.

Premium Member Hurdles
Freshly mowed grass touched by silver dew
Golden sunshine sparkles
Wispy clouds revealed hugging skies blue
Morn unaware of hurdles

Sunrise knew not of a rainy day
Nor of a rainy night
Nor of a cold, sunless morn
Where there was no sunlight

Nor of a northwest chilly breeze
That chilled the birds so...
