lake
winter frozen lake
ice cracks, frozen bubbles rise
chilled wind, deep blue sky
Sparking, chilled wine
is the common drink
we can afford to soothe stress,
it's that wind without a hiss;
the more we drink,
theless we think!
Lilian asked for a divorce,
her insanity got worse,
her husband married a ****,
a busty hooker strolling
on high heels in Sunset Park!
Lilian tossed his pictures
out of the window, screaming;
she didn't choose to be a widow!
Lilian drank a lot and felt low,
her favorite wine was Merlot,
she's only forty but looks eighty;
alcohol is a slow death, surely!
Sparkling, chilled wine
is good company
to escape reality,
it's time dedicated to relaxation,
a thrill for real improvisation:
a surprise after nine!
I grabbed a bottle
of sparkling, chilled wine
to idle time away
and stay out of trouble;
every cloud was thick and gray,
even silence was unbearable!
Sparkling, chilled wine
is a remedy, not a cure,
it gives one strength to endure;
it's a ray of delusive sunshine!
Ah! Sparkling, chilled wine
is a journey to Wonderland,
to that place close to divine,
where I shed tears on the sand!
I marvel at my laziness
amused by my lethargy
loving my willingness to be a sloth
retirement has flattened me out
slowed me down
I have gone from type A
to frozen food chill
enjoying nature
sip after sip of chilled wine
from local vineyards
a chilly perked coffee tale
cube clinked icy beans prevail
cool refreshing sip
summer fellowship
a brewed journey never fail.
Where the ice gnaws a brook,
black Ash trees sink waist-high
in the smoking frost.
A chill wind chatters,
my dark coat flaps
like a rook's shadow.
chicago cuties
tangerine days of summer
when noon redbird sings
cool burst of sunshine
from the fridge of hot august
its dream turned to dust
flowers are flaunting
crisp tomorrows coming soon
orange sunset moon
I like to wander,
Wander where,
The landscape’s wild
And I can breathe fresh-air,
Where the modern world
Can be kept at bay,
Where my anxiety and cares
Seem to melt away,
In fact, I think,
I think ….
I’ll stay.
Cold Chilled Weather
Cold weather turned gloomy
Dark grey clouds hiding Sun.
Monotony to run
Absolute dull to me.
Chilled breeze blowing random.
Snowy shivering Winter
took steps to enter.
Pale Sun shining seldom.
Drizzling snow flakes: Brittle.
All snow around outskirts.
Frosty weather hit heart.
Wishing warmth a little.
Bold cold too lengthy night.
Quivering under quilt!
Is Winter feeling guilt!
Dear! Come closer, embrace tight.

The “Christmas Freeze” of ’83 left Mom’s prize Oleander wilted
Bemoaning its demise, her heart gave way in the backyard
Irony cast its spell in spring and revived the Oleander...
If only it could have done the same for Mom

For Constance La France’s “Four Lines Poetry Contest”
on the chilling morn
a feathered butterfly runs
despite the robin
into the robin
a feathered butterfly runs
on the chilling morn

WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
Jane's moods were troubling; they drove her insane
They shifted hourly, in sunshine or rain
Her doc gave her a pill
He said go home and chill
~ Climbed in the freezer, got ice on the brain
toast natures chilled arm
chilled hues clad lush limbs
stupefy branches disrobes
sober crystal nudes

~~Richard Lamoureux
The ball of energy that is inside God,
Created the world in six days,
On the seventh day, pumped full of Adrenalin,
He mused in the heavens and plays,
The harpsichord, all covered in gold,
The lilting sound displays,
The mastery that is within a God,
The lasting sound a bouquet,
Of notes, in perfect tune,
That dexterously obey,
Lulling the God within,
To relax and enjoy the day.

Early November and it's cold
chilled not stirred down to my toes.
Ice crystals raise on the waterfall
no longer summer's autumn at all.
Yesterday green and flower appeared
today wind and frost it sheared.
What will winter have for us in store
as November takes on wintry roar?
