Podzolic life, soulless, wandering aimlessly across the vast Earth,
Seeking comfort in any form.
Rest, ease, evades, love evades.
Physical pleasures sought down every avenue traveled.
No beautry can please your careless spirit.
Wretched, wretched, misery blossoms upon my being, mercy evades.
Wonder at the smiling faces, met on my journey. What magic possesses the alien?
Kyrie eleison...
Leaves mulch to refresh the podzolic earth.
Cold air stimulates buttercups and crocus bulbs
Children pray for an elusive snow day!
The winter brings in the new year, refreshing life.
Avian migration brings new visitors to the bird feeder.
Warm drinks can be enjoyed...again.
For the Let It Snow-Winter contest by Constance LaFrance
Do the western USA people ever hear the word pogonip?
