Take Care on Ides of Jan

Snow in satin finish
the Finish surely know,
when heaven’s sweet light shines
it’s an iridescent glow.

Its sugar coated glaze
like a donut with a hole;
I raise my cup o’ cocoa
with a hearty winter “skoal!”

Winter has its grandeur,
when it’s viewed through the glass,
but should I choose to run and play,
I would fall and quickly pass.

For broken-neck-ed-ness
is quite a danger to one’s health,
and it would sorely place
a dent upon my wealth.

So winter come and go,
with your beauty and your grit,
and I will sit in my repose,
until you’ve faded quite a bit.

Then spring and I will sing
of sweet colors in the grass,
be it dandelions or primroses
as they dress this world en masse.

©January 15, 2004

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

oh this was so nice, would love to feel the winter in this way!!
but even in winter here, the hibiscus tree is still blooming and it's still warm enough to have to open the windows to cool off!

i will just have to live vicariously
