and I didn't even have a silver spoon,

Clouds garland snow capped mountain peak
Icy snow butterflies melt kisses upon my nose
Puffs of warm, moist breath balloons billow out before me,

The Hunter for PD

Yesterday, I visited 
the timeless monastery
where the Buddhist monks dwell,

Terrified of black ice or their...

Nessie lifted her head today for just a second.
I saw it, and thought ‘there she is!’ black skinny neck.
Black face, looked dinosaur-like.  I ran flat out toward her.
