First fires...
Smoking chimneys...
Leaf mold and pumpkin spice...
Spiced cider and hot chocolate...
S'mores, mmmmm!
Beneath full moonlight
In alley, neighbor's and mine.
Silhouettes of clouds
From those chimneys frighten me
As I rush through this deep freeze.
biting frosty spells
cloud chimneys pouring snow down
shaggy bear cares not
Place: 4th
Smoking chimneys show
Autumn nights are almost here
Spitting logs on fire
Sending patterns in the dark
As I sit relaxed with you.
Penned 30 August 2014
The city through my telescope,
A colorful kaleidoscope
Where chimneys smoke and lights collide
With crowded street and taxi ride,
Where magic ever near or far -
Illuminates its every star.
With white beard and red suit
Santa looks so cute.
In sleigh pulled by reindeer he roams;
Via chimneys he enters all homes.
On Christmas Eve, presents he delivers;
He is one of the world’s best givers.
cars pass by
the hospital
by the crematory
and emit exhaust fumes
and the chimneys
by the crematory
they emit smoke
emit the dead
from Dante's Inferno
and we breathe them
we breathe death
and sneeze a lot
Just because I am skinny does not mean I do not know what to do
Said Skinny Santa, who was being made fun of by cousins, twenty-two.
I can throw gifts down chimneys accurately and fast.
And for you who are making fun of me, you can kiss my…..
Christmas finds reindeer landing on rooftops
Santa’s kindly added some extra stops
His sleigh filled with travelers
Scared of TSA handlers
Scoff as coal through government chimneys drops
*For Francine’s Christmas contest
I am a house topped with crystals,
and the light catches it
in rainbows...
My visitors are sparkly birds.
Out of chimneys come emeralds
and rubies...
I am still waiting for diamonds,
and I know they will come.

mysterious figures
wander in the countryside
aimlessly in the mud and dust
but meanwhile
black and white killer whales
keep slaughtering the seals
and giants of history
smoke chimneys like cigars
while silver is cold
and wind draws through March
Smoke curls from the chimneys,
And dissolves into the grey
Then the clouds in exchange
Release snowflakes on the day
Soon the air is full of white flakes
Filtering the sounds of life away
The land is soon under deep snow
Of snowflakes released on the day
Form:
Big yellow buses, on days when it rains,
Olympus for chips, then waiting for trains,
Long summer evenings, with walks in the park,
Town Hall, tall chimneys, a Jack Russell’s bark,
Open front doors, red brick, cobblestone,
Nice to be back, always glad to be home.
Rudolph no more has a nose with a glow
No longer down chimneys Santa will go
Kids do not look for a sleigh
Just a truck to come their way
Cause Santa now drives a truck don't you know!

Your album cover
Anything for a Laugh
seems candlelight lit
arched churchways
and smoke from village Chimneys
sepia daybreak
angel clouds jettisoning
with yellow filter
You died in Newcastle
broken by the rain,
only one album
and a few credits
cherished by a few
shimmers unterach
vitality of nature
atop attersee
jettison the villagers
chimneys, trees, green and red paint

Unterach on Attersee painted by Gustav Klimt

The color of winter and snow
Fly through the sky now and then they fall
Time drifting trees spun red, white, blue snowflakes of earth
Down along mosaic chimneys these wind-fingers whisper
On cold print ice
Delicate rich crystalline smoke
Turns blustery blow autumn sun holiday...

Awnings and brick,
faded by the sun,
Bay windows
reflecting memories
long gone,
ancient chimneys,
cracked and chipped now,
have weathered the years,
yet still stand high.
Slate sidewalks and quaint shops,
give life to days gone by,
as I sit here
within a dream,
of generations passed on.
Santa can't shimmy down chimneys no more.
"My belly won't fit through the flue," he swore!
The reindeer hid a smirk
When Santa went berserk
Fatty Claus will have to sneak in the door

A Funny Christmas/December Holiday Limerick
A Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin
Wild country,
Pools of dead water
Glen of scrub and brown brambles
Snow dirtied by traffic and by
Mud thrown up by passing trucks
Farmland , where cattle and sheep huddle
And old homesteads bravely smoking chimneys
Harsh winter farming,
Survival
A dying breed
Working to make a living
The life
Of everyday heros
I light
this flame, during
winters of my mind.
I etch your
fingertips into my own.
This is naivety, or
tight-lipped behavior, like
sparks consuming coal.
I long for you,
like embers and chimney tops,
or chimneys and skies.
If I lit the clouds,
with this flame,
would it pour,
enough to bring
summer in my heart?
bird feeders are still
not one bird, breakfast waits
the shadows don't move
a hill covered white
snow shines in the sun's glory
no clouds can be seen
sapphire blue sky
chimneys smoke in cold air
winter's sun, so bright
everything is still
sounds have frozen in silence
footprints can be seen

Empty cold branch fingers
Reaching out in all directions
Through the quiet skies
Gray and heavy smoldering
Whisping skyward from chimneys
Through the windows frost child eyes
Spy the first snowfall softly
Drifting about heedlessly
White velvet landscaped covering
As December settles down
Enfolding the night
In her tranquility
Rusty rotten dirty domes,
Wound the Heaven’s azure heart,
Chimneys’ souls rise to part,
Black giants’ filthy foams.
Metal hooting centipedes,
Pierce the hills’ rocky chest.
Shaking the jungles’ breast,
Roaring saw on trunk feeds.
Life’s teasing irony,
Knife to cut on the barks
Save trees in the parks!
Man’s mocking destiny...
