Long Snowbird Poems

At this dawn of "bon voyage", 
after million escapades of 
blindfolded fate, I'm trespassing
through the pirouetting pigments 
of fading frolics and 
windsurfing towards rose-oiled 
beams of glossy sun as its 
gossamer grandiose has 
finally enveloped...

IRON MAIDEN 

Iron maiden was she 
fathered from loins of 
Zeus flow free ~
surrounded by swords 
steely three, icicle aura 
bounded hounded 
innocence thorned 
crowned exiled

From the mid-1950's thenceforth
to the mid-seventies in the Great White North,
over the course of many moons,
there came from this country some really great tunes.

For those of us young at heart (or not-so-old)
we had Neil Young's...

Dominik, I want you to 
Understand why your mom
Feels so light and free. 
I believe I have flown
Through life.

I remember flying from
The sheltered wings
Of my family as I flew
To Saskatoon Saskatchewan 
Thinking I would be...

I curl up
In the cradle of our cabin
This Friday night in January

The deck out back
Glows
Bright as its own light
With new snow
From my evening muted TV

Cliff an abyss two feet beyond

Lake
A coffin draped in black flag

There...

Sumptuous feasts enchanted float on by,
as I peer into an opulent expanse,
garnet clad entrance aglow,
imagine august beauty at its mise en scène peak,
ingress to celestial nirvana’s Laurel-ridden charm,
iridescent veil of cirrus nebula,
window blind ephemeral in...

Have you seen any suspicious Russians
roving around the Capitol grounds lately, sir?

Why, no I haven’t
By the way, 
what does a Russian look like,
I dare ask with curious dismay
That black fella over there
might be a Soviet...

To avoid the cold and snow, I took a trip down south
to hang out in the desert, but I’ve turned into a louse.

I brag about the sunshine to those who stayed up north
and act like...

My love for this, the fourth season,
Lives within it’s own secret joy,
‘Tis all so very pleasin’,
To watch Nature employ,
Her whims on this Florida boy.

The warm soft breeze from the Okee lake,
Seductively luring the snowbird crowd,...

Winter had buried 
the tectonic Earth with...snow:
a wedding white land;

the xanthus plumes 
of the snowbird, with
black amethyst eyes-
 
their hearts. HIS cracked...

the coffee; he looks

Cold & Windy
David J Walker

They said it on the radio 
this morning
at 7:30

A cold dry wind 
coming in from
the North-Northwest

If I were to invest 
Myself in Winter/Stock 
Inhumane the Solstice/Clock 

Drops 5 seconds every hour
Shortening...

CHRISTMAS TIME IS DIFFERENT 

Christmas time is different, it now comes twice a year
More time for celebration, with family that is near
We’ve created another life style, in our golden years
Fitting in some southern seniors, as...

Snowbird

Time to sit and ponder life is gone,
Age does pass too swiftly by, vanished
Into what was once a vision thus prolonged
In the ripple of a stream so still;
And well would seem our life’s vestige
No more...

The snowbird trees are putting on their colorful autumn coats
Preparing to follow the sun southward
The provincial evergreens are hunkering down for winter
All are well groomed in this spiritual oasis

A gently convex (concave if you are...

One final blast of frigid wind leaving one last reapers' kiss.
La femme fatale bids dour adieu to fast fading verdant bliss.
She snaps her teeth like silver shears in cold calculating lips.
She slips her burnished bits...

Snowflakes blow in a sky of gray
  as the snowdancer dances her cares away.
Whirling and twirling in a sea of white,
  warm breath escapes her lips,
  dancing and slowly moving her hips.

Yay! Some cold at last, and even a dusting of snow.
We moved back into the dorm—braving knife-like breezes—yesterday.
It was bracing and heroic - do I want it to warm up?
That’s a hard no.

let’s wax poetic..

Oh! Little space invaders on the ground

Santa hasn’t drunk cocoa tonight,
and he’s not dressed in red trimmed with white.
In blue denim so cool,
he is toasting the Yule
with a drink surely not mixed with Sprite!

Santa’s drink was a little too red,
and I...

This is a Burmese climbing rhyme. It needs work. But we have had so much snow, of course, I thought about snowbirds. Haha.
