aside from aiding distinguishing 
pleasant or unpleasant smells

Loving my refurbished fifteen inch mid 2015 Macbook Pro

A lightning fast machine
purchased three days ago
now comfortably nestling with
said technological wonder,
where outside a cold wind howls
measuring windchill factor of five below
allowing, enabling and providing me
an opportunity...

I took a stroll through City Market 
Kansas City's cultural queen, with vegetables and flowers
Concrete words leaning against their water buckets.
Old women's hair unnatural colors shining from restaurants

Winsome Wendy walked in winter's white
  Wondering when her window box wisteria would grow.
  Wintry wisps followed by winter's windstorm
  Wiped out her wonderful window work.

*A young man went out for a stroll 
into a remote patch of icy blue Adirondak
It's been a few moons since he was last seen 
they discovered his lithium car at the trailhead

As I walk along the footpath
The ice cracks under my sole
The windchill cools the ears
And reddens up my nose.

The Winter Sun looks warm
But passers by just moan
As I enjoy the freshness
And view of shining snow.

when it rained, it came it sheets
I was drenched from head to feet
no shelter close to help affection
feelings drown without protection

next comes windchill down to bone
howling, swirling, on it groans
in my mind I now avow

The signs of spring are in the air
the days begin to lengthen
morning arrives earlier each day
the sun sets later in evening
the mood of people brighten
as they look forward to spring
it was a long cold winter
