You Would See Winter Glance, my way, today,... You would see Winter. Biting. Battles fighting, in my own back yard. And me, Chasing the chill exuding. Framing the eyes, jaded and bare. Icicles tearing, through dreams outdated. And me, Tasting the smile's hibernation. Feeling, the beaten paths dug. He won, again, seasoned the time, with a pinch of flake. Gaining on my little world, all of me to take. So now, if you glance my way, today,..... You would see Winter. |

No, don't mention winter!! Brrrr I liked this..but I prefer an October cornfield to an Indiana blizzard. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

After winter always comes the warmth of spring and sunshine always comes after rain.. I see the beauty of winter in your words the dark beauty exuding from your words and I liked the poem very much!! |

This one send chills through my heart my friend. The winter shall end and with the spring, and the warmth of the sunshine the flower shall once again blossom. Until then I send sunhine and smiles your way to help keep the chill at bay, take cae! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

SpitFire, I SEE IT!!!!!  Wow, this was a great write by you!! I know it is one of your favorite times of the year. Hope you get to go boarding a lot this year!! Take care, you. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Ham hocks........well, after you have a bone in ham for dinner, you cook the rest of the ham on the bone with beans and make like a stew or thick soup kinda like bean with bacon soup.......I make mine on the sweet side, and with cornbread it is sooooo good! Does that explain it better for you?  -SEA |
