Dirty worms squirming
Excavating with instinct
Wiggle brown wormy ~
Shoveling thick dirt
Accidently cut a worm
It wiggles in pain
Coal
dirty, grimy
shoveling, glowing, burning
smoke, soot, heat, pressure
hardening, shining, dazzling
brilliant, beautiful
Diamond
On a wintry day
The snow fell several hours
Shoveling wasn't easy
I stayed toasty warm
I paid two kids to shovel
And... I gave them hot cocoa!
Summer
Hot, vibrant
Scorching, sweating, illuminating
Shorts, sunglasses, snowman, sweaters
Shivering, shoveling, darkening
Cold, white
Winter
Dad and son emitted a healthy glow
while shoveling the walkway clear of snow,
but one look at the sky
made them both start to cry:
"There's more of the white stuff?! Oh, no!"
a glimpse before shoveling
newly fallen snow crystals
dazzling sparkling magic
in the glare of back-alley lights
almost enough to make him
fall in love again
with snow
almost
My one and only Uncle Leonardo
Who moved few years ago to Chicago
Came home again last week
He said, he was homesick
But then, he just got tired of shoveling snow.

Surprise! six inches fell
Silently through the night,
Secretly, unforeseen.
School cancelled, sleds are launched
Salt brine is useless now.
Stay home, no shoveling,
Sunshine will seize the day.
The only thing I like about winter is spring
Spoken like a Canadian, winter puts our head in a sling
Shoveling snow
Frozen ears and nose
Dear Mo was my inspiration for this silly thing
I DIG MY PUPPY AND HE DIGS IN MY YARD-
I dig my puppy
He is so big and funny.
He has running legs
And many joyful diggings
He barks I feel like shoveling

Black, white and gray smoke trail a mile long, working all the way
The fireman shoveling more coal, heading for the next water stop
Across the country, "The Iron Horse", goes down the rails

As a child I loved to ride 'Thunderbolt" into the wind
living then rural, Thunder was my best and only friend
but now that I have grown so much older, more wise, mature
I no longer desire shoveling barns, filled with manure!
SnowFlake
Unique, Frozen
Falling, drifting, Shoveling
Catching one on your tongue
CRYSTAL
be my engineer
heat me to
boiling
open my mouth
stoke my fire
shoveling
words in
but save
one
chunk of
coal that
was
heated
but now
has cooled
and as is time
for all time
this will be
ours as coal
becomes a
diamond
Form:
My miracle was helping all
when forced to help my neighbor
The thought of shoveling all his snow
brought visitors he favored
So now I say he's in the light
for all who say he's great
And I can say I've helped them all
despite what I'm negate
Chased down, Santa’s sled leaves skid marks on the ledge of North Pole.
Sacks in hand, green elves turn Christmas red - punishment shoveling coal.

i am strange the fly in the sky
to greet you every morning
with bonjour hello sayonara
a trip to the bodega for a banana
to eat with blueberry and a look at the sky
children waiting for the bus to nowhere
adios you kidding me the wonder of a pass
the future of me shoveling the snow
not a wonder the grand ma
laughing the background shoveling into the depth of my mind
drawing a blank but insistent I never forfeit to submission iron the idol tactic is weakness I allow it the visits there are many I am alone and I dare to compete
listen only to my 3rd person when sized up in seconds the army lone side of my villa put the napalm to the childrens feet
BORING INTO OBLIVION
rump gripping leather seat ~ brainwaves depleted
FRIGHTENED BY BOREDOM
tablet blackout - afraid of the dark
BOREDOM RELIEF
neighborhood powers down - shoveling snow - old school manipulation
DEADLY BOREDOM
fingers chattering chilling text — rigor mortis

chunks of dirt mingle with the bread.
cinnamon wafting in the wind.
a house of sugary bliss,
a promising deal of sweet paradise.
shoveling savories like a last meal--
bellies rising like dough,
suddenly shoved into a scalding scene.
outsides on fire,
insides igniting--
charred little children,
burnt sugar lingering on their tongues.
Here comes the county snow plow down the street,
He will clear the street of snow and that's neat!
I'd scooped snow, how I did strive,
To move heaped snow from my drive!
He just grinned dumping more snow at my feet!
Entry for Charles Messina's "Same Word Winter Limerick" Contest
(6 January 2019)
Eyes of confidence
Naïve and hardened
Advancing on the battlefield
Eyes of anguish
Discovering the horror
Spent upon the blood of war
Eyes of hope
Peace in reprieve
Hold fast to victory’s color
Eyes of benevolence
Engulfed within anguish
Rueful to the melee’s victims
Eyes of regret
A human understanding
Shoveling over another grave
“An Aching for the Cosmos”
I’ve fount fault
With finding fault
For days and days uncounted
Washed away his beach of wonder
After an introspections over
What world has wonder brought?
To sinking ship and shoveling sun
All dreams are broken pieces
Fallen apart for shame and speechless
When will this earth then dead fall?
Turn round from life withdraw
None so weary as the hard-working man
Moving as much dirt as he possibly can,
His wife does her share of shoveling, too
They’ve bit off more than they can chew,
Both need some rest from the daily grind
But it seems reliable help is hard to find,
They work their fingers bare to the bone
Too bad they each do not have a clone.

Cold winds blowing the white snow flakes.
People out shoveling after the many inches
that has just fallen, children sledding, building
tall snow men with button eyes, carrot noses
coal for the big smile and the hat and arms.
Cars spinning in the deep snow drifts some
getting stuck but it is still a beautiful site to
watch the snow fall from the gray sky above.
