Best Ws Poems
*
The snow is falling *
white upon my window ledge,
the winter wind howls and blows ...
Snowflakes ... dance and prance
the snow swirls, whirls, twirls, and spins-
my kitty watches the fun ... *

First Place
during cold season
coated with a snow blanket
winter ski spins fantasy
as far as eyes view
a vista of snow-clad slopes
a ritzy summer resort

peeking through curtains
straining for a better view
her face is flush and gleaming
there! she surfaces again
cavorting in wind-tossed froth
dancing on a winter sky

WHO was the dastard - Moriarty again?
WHAT was the reason for kidnapping Watson, my friend?
WHEN did Moriarty strike?
WHERE could Watson be?
WHY is Moriarty always instigating dastardly deeds?

Seventh Place
There once was a
student named Gest.
Among all his
classmate,he's best.
He dumped all his
books
and followed all
cooks.
Which lastly he
failed much the rest.
When we see the ww’s we think different things.
Some of us see wrestlers. Others visualize internet sites.
What about zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzz s.
when you see zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs do you think of rickrack?
Or is that an old fashioned trim that is no longer visualized at all?
Maybe you see the zzzzzzzzzzzz s and think snake.
I have seen that pattern on one, who was curled up in my garden.
When I see w’s, I see witches, warnings, wariness, and waywardness.
Poets have a way of seeing things that others cannot.
This is why I guess I will be a poet now.
A cold winter's night,
birds warmly nestled in nests-
frigid hibernation fight
Morning chirping songs,
scavenging frozen berries-
sparring for Spring survival

Hawaiian Winter - WS
Snow trace e'er so oft
Soloist compacts barely
Do salt waves surge teasingly?
Surf and sand hulas
Sun melts away mini-me
So snowman bid Aloha?

Over many years
Love has taken deep, deep root.
Has your love deepened, flourished
A short span of time
Our lifetime love's been given
Soon I'll love thee even more

in cold winter throes
city has frosted over ~
light shimmers on pristine snow
parka covered kids
toss snowballs at each other ~
living within a snow globe

January dawn
Snowfall's promised purity
Gleams under a silver sun
Robin's flash of red
Birdsong delicately fills
The quiet white interlude

stars shimmer in sky
moon on routine sentry watch
crispy spell of snow below
embers from fireplace
peek out through the windowsill
night sleeps blanketed in snow

those cold snowy days
seldom seen in warm desert
escaping frost's snow packed fields
yet desert's green leaves
depend on drinks from storm's cache
in wells shared with thirsty land

Sapphire and scarlet
Vibrant colors, singing love
Songs, joy erasing the night
Brilliant hues, graceful
Wings soaring in passionate
Purple, glowing, shimmering

High winds come soaring
On a chariot of ice
Blowing alabaster hails
Sun beams thaw star threads
Bringing back hidden colours
To pour into springs chalice
