As the icy cold kingdom of winter is dethroned the revolution of springtime thaws reclaim despoiled lands, rendered bleak and mottled by deadening frosts and hard freezing rain that sucked life from the very ground beneath us A break in the clouds renders sustaining warmth to the bone weary travelers, tired of huddling in cold shelters from the frigid fangs of wind bourne chills, stalking the land like angry frost giants jealous of the warmth within our bodies As I look to the passing crowds, the familiar grimaces and squinting eyes have been changed into friendly smiles, resplendent in the sunshine that beckons the reclusive winter hermits to bask within it's amber gaze This is the time for forgetting the woes and laments sustained within winters dreary fold, preparing for the coming of summer, and beholding all the gifts of nature magically retrieved from the maw of a now passing season A real man kisses his children goodnight |

this entire poem was spectacular...and I felt the winter cold....but the last paragraph was paramount..... This is the time for forgetting the woes and laments sustained within winters dreary fold, preparing for the coming of summer, and beholding all the gifts of nature magically retrieved from the maw of a now passing season well done! |

James~ I am so pleased to see you back sharing such marvelous pennings with us~ I reckon that cold is one more good reason that I'm glad the stork dropped me in the warmth of Florida~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
