Let’s go skiing ! Said my wife 
It gives you such a thrill
So off we flew to Canada 
To face the bitter chill

To Banff’s National park
Found our hotel, went to...

My eyes have not grown too weak or dim
to ignore what they've long been seeing
pretenders who wear a mask of disguise

Everyone who labels him/herself a 'poet'
thinks he's composed...

what if I
didn’t matter-
would you 
think about me 
not here-
or if I
didn’t exist-
ever never,
would you 
shed a tear
what if I were
a mess-
would you
comb my hair
or if we
were in love-
would you
whisper in
my ear
what if I
were hurt-

It started with the freezing rain,
the curse of winter time,
turning all into slick black glass
on every road you find.

Then came on all the pelting sleet,
pins and needles outside,
you can hear it as it hits home,

Family life
 
 I ask myself what is wrong with borders well-defined places 
with interior freedom and rules;
yes rules, the liberty to do what you want leads enslavement 
break- up of families and chaos.
What`s wrong...

This happens to me ever Fall
when the first frosts slick the grass,
I see the mercury plummet
and I hope the cold comes fast.
Though I try not to rush my life,
and enjoy things as I go,
come Fall...

A Mid Summers Day

It is the perfect summer’s day
The suns warmth on my face
The lake calm as glass on a table
I sit there bobbing like a piece of driftwood

The lapping of water a serenade to...

The dream prince was away on the weekend,
The princess was lonely without him.

He will be back she thought to herself,
His masculine figure will caress her presence.

A dozen roses and she wished she could propose marriage,
Usually...

Not away from big problems always run.

Calm halts clouds swollen with snow,
they will resent the continuous blow
of the four winds of bitter February;
an unleashed snowstorm is pure fury!

An elated mood rises amid the air of glumness,
April rain is far from the...

that old age is wont to bring to...

Don't wish anyone else ill,
Even if the person deserved it,
And then I remember you,
As you once "made friends" with me.

I don't need anything from you,
Just as nothing was needed then,
When you left me it was...

The winter is choking me with her cold air.
She is blatantly whitening everything.
The birds are terrified they will not live through it.
School is cancelled for the ninth day in seven weeks.

I wish I was a...

She had a romance beyond compare,
Weekends he wasn't there,

She said to herself he is a guest prince in her life,
Blessed she is to see him now and then.

The dreamy prince had a schedule of his...

He is tall and masculine and good-looking,
I along to caress his perfect figure.

Run my fingers through his silver grey hair,
Touch his handsome chest.

Kiss him gently and hug him,
The day we met I knew God was...

As a baby I once played in my mother shoes
I walked in them with my little feet like a skier

I would trip in them and get a bruise
To nurse me, she was always near

Snowy slopes come alive


Snow capped mountain peaks it's eyes on sleepy town,
as it slumbers in it's gown as daylight counts down.
As light fills in, town comes to play shaking the ground,
with tourist skis flocking the...

The gentle snow falls, covering the spruces on the mountain,
Like God's wand creating a winter scene of beauty,
The mountain tops and peaks covered with snow,
The skier skis the mountain with excellence on the blanket of...

The freshness of snow,
Where ever you go.

The snowflakes fall down,
All around on the ground.

Spruces everywhere,
Beautiful in their appearance.

The picture postcard of winter is here,
Memories of friends very dear.

The skiers like skiing the mountain,
At the base...
