snow fallling hot tea a warm fire
a christmas song with words that inspire
The fruit smoothie spun on the smoothie machine,
as I looked out the window at large snowflakes falling to the ground
I watched, as I was led into a peaceful trance
No thoughts to weigh me down, a light moment lifting my heart
Later, I went outside where the snow had turned to small flakes
They were like tiny pebbles bouncing on the grass
- A winter wonderland in spring -

Poem of the day 4/9/25
Winter Wonderland
Winter wonderland, white
icing on brown cake, mister
nor’easter’s icy breath, snow-
tires spin helplessly, caught in
eider down drifts, I would
rather be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!
In the morning there was snow.
No school today!
Hurrah! Hooray!
The temp is down to ten below
But it’s okay!
Go out to play!
It’s better than we could have planned,
A winter wonderland.
There’s no need to fear a storm.
Our coats and hats will keep us warm.
Boots on feet and gloves on hands.
All day to play. Is it not grand?
A winter wonderland.
Jack frost dances on my window
With fancy snowflakes as white as snow
Falling with grace on the brown trees
Painting black lace that is a street
We all take cover from the wind
Blowing the lovers making snow angel friends
Side by side on snowy white ground
Despite the chill no one has a frown
Sleet and ice on the lake
Where you find kids at play
They throw snowballs and ice skate
Winter wonderland is this place
Once upon a white winter wonderland
my love and I were walking hand in hand
beneath a gleaming moonlit starry sky
with a flurry of snowflakes swirling by.
Suddenly there came an angelic sound
from a most welcoming church we had found
as we stepped inside, in joy our hearts leapt
a magic moment we’d never forget.
It was a soulful yuletide sonata
I wished to join in sacred cantata
my sweetheart got down on knee and proposed
I said "yes" and tears of happiness flowed.
Who'd imagine melody such as this
would lead to a lifetime of wedded bliss
yet it did and we're so appreciative
of the church and the divine organist.
God’s presence aroused in glorious sound
a Christmas sonata heavenward bound.
Soft she slips into the wood,
Garlanding brush and branches,
Spreading out her lovely cloak,
To cover posts and fences.
Now she drifts into the yard,
Making all things bright,
Swathing each and every thing,
In a mantle of pure white.
The roses in my garden,
Will sleep through Winter's night,
Beneath their mantle made of snow,
Hidden from my sight.
Winter's queen is lovely,
And wonderful to see,
Sparkling in the moonlight,
She smiles and beckons me.
Come walk with me in moonlight.
Come dance beneath the stars.
Laugh as snow flakes kiss your face.
This moment now is ours.
Winter Wonderland, Winter Schmunderland
I've had it up to my ying yang
If I never see another snowflake in my life
My big base drum I'd bang
Wonderland, Schmunderland, I've had enough
Don't know how I've made this far
Except for those few times in the loony bin
Still have all my marbles, by gar
Well at least I think I still have my marbles
But sure wish I could feel my mouth
This Winter Wonderland is for the birds
Even they have sense to head south
Winter Wonderland, Winter Schmunderland
Who really needs all this crap
I'd certainly be a very much happier camper
If I could wear a hat without flaps
underground magic
stalagmites and stalactite's
created by God
winter wonderland
glistening fluffy snow banks
they make me hungry
marshmallow white bright
cotton balls and pillow foam
good enough to eat
Walking steadily in the winter sun,
Wondering when the heavy snow shall come;
Hoping for the winter wonderland’s fun,
Restricting my heart to love and succumb,
Waiting for joy time hoping I have some,
While beautiful hymns I recall and hum.
Snow seems like a swan in magical dance;
I looked around me with sorrowful eyes;
Bloodstained the brilliance of the ambience
In amongst the gloom of war, I heard cries,
While the whiteness was only a disguise,
In bed, I perceive, sob and agonize.
When a new morning is upon the birds,
The fate of the wounded soldiers arise;
The repair of their hearts needs more than words
Their place is not far off from the dark skies.
The winter is bright it is also in disguise;
For the bitter end makes them realise.
Hoping not to be alone anymore,
And all wars and sadness I will ignore.

The seascape, lies beneath a blanket of white.
From dunes to where waves touch the sand.
The scene is hazy in the day's gray light.
Creating a rare seaside winter wonderland.
Snowflakes so fine swirl in the air.
Before they fall to the ground.
Guesting winds toss them here and there.
They finally land not making a sound.
The wind causes drifting along the fence.
It is clinging to every window and door.
This predicted shortlived storm, is intense.
Mounting inches of snow, expecting more.
Wind is coming from the bayside,
pushing across the land to the sea.
Leaving an island with no place to hide,
The frigid winter wind, blows wild and free.
It does not take much
All it takes is a hill
A descent layer of snow
And a big ol’ bunch of kids
Then the magic starts
Snowmen, forts, and sleds
Just hundreds of kids being kids
And not a sad face in sight
A true ‘unplanned’ winter wonderland

A couple got married in the Winter Wonderland
For the reception they hired a mariachi band
They danced a Spanish jig,
Then left in a borrowed rig
Stiffing the poor caterer because the food was bland.
