May have posted before but sitting reading some old books I've writtrn and thought it was worth posting again! Old Man Winter is a'comin'. WINTRY JEWELS They look like fine-cut crystal Each one's beauty all its own Just more of nature's jewelry Each one like a precious stone. They're on a round trip journey From earth to the sky and back Sometimes they're few and short-lived Break like fragile bric-a-brac. At times in blinding fury To turn the landscape snow white They fall in countless numbers All day long -- throughout the night. There are few sights that compare As they flutter to the ground Or are carried by the wind And spin wildly 'round and 'round. But when winter is over They'll return back to the sea Then when Old Man Winter calls They'll be back to amaze me. Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |

Appreciated! Everyone should walk out through a blizzard (or just afterwards) at least once---taking good care, of course---just for the experience. |

Having grown up in a cold climate I could relate to this poem. Snow flakes are indeed gems. |
