The Prophecy:

An ordinary December morning
extraordinary hopes in white,
streets adorned with snowflakes
embellished in red crystal dreams.
She boarded her cab to airport,
awaited holidays had arrived.
From carousels of Tokyo city
to sledges in the Alps, a while.
Roads blocked in...

Whenever we could we would build a den 
And I loved to help my...

Ballerina bears on balls and bicycles
Cavalcades of clowns with calliopes 
Dancing damsels in glittery corsets and tulle skirts
Elephants parade in wrinkled suits
Fire eaters flourish flames
Giants on stilts wave ribbons and flags
High...

Our winter weather is highly unpredictable
Jack frost often paints frosty ferns on our windows, but we seldom get any snow 
Occasionally we get a flurry but it rarely stays on the ground 
However, I vividly...

Stop to wish them a Happy Xmas,
to all those who do not have a home,
warmth of hearth, family love we have,
do give them a small share of that part.

They seek not your expensive boxed gifts,

Long ago at Christmas time.
It always use to snow.

Gone, now just a memory the warmth of summer,
winter's icy fingers now take a harsh grip turning
land to frozen waste. Blanketing it in snow as the
nights draw in, reflecting the bright moon.

Children having fun sledges...

The human troll

He was the tallest man I have ever seen, bigger than the rest
he had one big eye, a lantern, seeing wide and a smaller eye 
seeing inwards; he retired as an airline pilot...

glittering snow falls
covering the earth in white
making her bridal

Gently yet persistently the snow falls cloaking all in a
white veil. Monstrous drifts block roads and paths.
How can people get to the church? The pastor waits wringing

Its the first day back to work after Christmas. The news is of snow dumps. Outside it's drizzling mostly, with small thin wisps of snow - hardly visible on the hedges and ledges. Nowhere near...

   Sledges slide on slippery snow.
   In snow sun rays dazzle and glow
   Santa Claus glad on reindeer- ride
     In slippery snow sledges slide.

"Siren Sings Poe Home"
 


Bells are ringing
Can you hear me singing?

Poe absent, finds his feet
6 feet under snow
Soul is free flying 
with black feathery things
Sharp knives slicing the cold 
Midnight wings 
dancing the Passepied 
with...

with Penola inscribed upon it in brass

Sixteen men borne over the ocean to vast
wide wastes of white wilderness, there to explore
Antarctic...

 we would dress so quickly to get out in the snow,
 with welly's and coats at the ready,
 god it was such a long time ago.
