­

Snow, a childhood friend
Came ... a winter visitor-
To whiten playgrounds

Voices in each flake called out
suzy and bobbie names-saying

Drop the capitals,
Drop the formalities (of)
Robert and Susan"

"Come play! at cold games,
New flakes will remember you
Time you were not old"

"All stiffness makes retreat,
When the inner child regains".

Come play!

Smiling...

'tis the season!

You're in your realm
once again...

ice...Enjoyed very much...Paul

When we get old and gray
The child in us still wants to play
Building snowmen, riding rubber sleigh
Muscles ache at end of day

Who could resist playing in the first snow of the season

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

for now, I can only walk on frosted pathways. But my memory banks hold onto the feel of many many walks in the cold, gazing at Aurora's night lights. There is such beauty in the stillness of a silent snow walk.
Now you made me miss Alaska. But thank you for the quick vacation.
(but I'm not missing those sub zero temps...
it is -35 today in Fairbanks BRR!!!!!)

I can't always get quickly back to see my replies, but they are well worth the wait when I finally do...it has been cold and snowy here in the northern highlands of Pa. over Thanksgiving weekend...But your kind remarks have warmed my heart and made my soul very comfortable..

Thank you

Ford...wonderfully articulated

the child in us never feels the pangs of age
and so
I'm throwing away all mirrors....

staying forever an ageless lover of life's smiles....

enjoyed you in this....

The rain took my snow away but playing in the rain can be fun too.
Enjoyed the read.
