The safe place

No matter how the day Is filled with drudgery and dread One thing I can count on Is a warm dry place to lay my head. It surely must be a special art To live life out of a shopping cart. But when the sun drops And the sky goes black A head nods Eyelids drop One more day of fear and dread With no warm... Sign in to see full entry.

Ode to a groundhog

I think I shall never see A varmint as elusive As thee. Indeed, unless the snow Stops it’s fall I shall never see A varmint At all At least for six weeks! Sign in to see full entry.

Space Plowboy

I lie down in my bed And draw the covers over my head To escape the reality I don’t want to face I am on a planet - spinning through space. Darker than the world under my covers The night sky between the stars, Somewhere to the left of Jupiter and Mars Is an inhospitable place for lovers. Our world... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow branches

Snow branches hung on the tree Radiating out for all to see Splendor befitting of angels meets the eye Out of what was a maelstrom from a drab gray sky.

Crystal Fantasy - illustrated

Point upon point the crystal fantasy builds slowly overnight only to be revealed at daylights first gleaming. The white princess wafting gently in the breeze just last night was dried ugly and brown more likely to make one sneeze than stand in awe. Drink in her beauty quick for soon like Cinderella...

Christmas Flakes.

White And quiet They fall everywhere Transforming grey brown fall Into a whitescape Where rosy cheeked children Build snowmen and slide Down hills laughing All the way. Sign in to see full entry.

On the cusp of winter

Autumn sun drags lazily over the horizon, energy level lower now, barely chases the nights chill and the leaves tremble, paling at winters icy promise. One last tumbling ride on the breeze they crash land, their dying whispers, reminders of balmy summer. A reluctant figure shuffles across the lawn... Sign in to see full entry.

A PC holiday song.

Frosty the snow person Had a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. It was not clear whether they were bituminous or anthracite but since they were intended for decoration rather than combustion they could in no way add to the earth’s atmospheric carbon load nor contribute to acid rain in any...
