The boughs are laden with snow.

Winter tableau is painted.

We have a vehicle on Mars
Down on Earth, no gas for our cars
No heat overnight
No water in sight
in Texas, they're just seeing stars!

Spring

Snowy pear blossoms
And rosy peach flowers
Skirt the green hills
Overnight came the news
Of spring with mooing cows
And bleating goats

Overnight over comes
over goings, out tensions; out comes
over work welcomes
on doing, on motions, on trusts
over is over; sometimes is beyond lives.

Transfixed, suspended,  
as geese caught in overnight ice
awaiting  dawn and sun's warmth.
Static, lost in a dream 
I can't remember
but never really forget.

Sitting in overnight emergency ward
Front row seats for drama unfolding nonstop
Almost forgetting why I came

Time warps around a surreal new reality

Winter

Winter 
  
The gentile, white butterflies lay down, 
Covering the town. 
 
Overnight is full of snow,  
The kids are ready to go! 
  
Playing in snow is fun 
Kids all over run!

Jack

The water in my pail
soured overnight
So I pluck every hair
off the skin of my body

And watch the spores of mold
grow around the rim
My crown is broken
And my chair is for liars

A Butcher's Shock

There was an old lady in York,
who danced with a butcher from Cork,
he stayed overnight -
she gave him a fright:
insatiable passion for 'pork'...
