6:49 PM - Winter Flight
Category: Writing and Poetry





ohhhhhhhhh

it's so cold you say

fly Winter fly away

hurry

Spring thou beauteous fine array

of growth and budding earth borne



but winter frills and snowlorn hills

have much to test

to hone your skills

for patience and quietstill...

muffled sounds of daffodils

well covered 'neath still slumbering



cuddle in those sheepskin shoes

look out to watch the brilliant muse

of stark and dark and linear prose

and sparkling diamonds scattered close









bright cold and ever numbing nose

to cover with a ski mask's ease

oh wear a cap that lifts and cover please



shiver then if you must

but never think that you should mistrust

it's beauty



so seek you then the Northern Climes

where skys will fill your eyes and mind

with rarity

in swirling

twirling tides above

dancing waves

of whitest loveliness



lay back on then on the snow

watch the mystic whimsies flow

feel the Winter's non allure diminishing



may your child's delight then thrill

with this seasonal reality

think of Winter poems and songs

the sled you got when you were young



and know the waning sun will speed

to quickly course across and leave

Winter's recognition
