Frozen Beaches

Words of William Shakespeare 

Blow, blow,thou winter wind,
Thou are not so unkind
As man's ingraditude:
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho: unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not,
Heigh-ho: sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly

Winter Beauty

Snowcones
Like needles of lace
a cone of snowflakes
gathers,light as air.
A breath of wind, and the flakes
scatter 
into nowhere.
White houses
On top of a green needle
a tiny snowflake falls.
It clings tightly
to it's resinous hull.
Towering tops
More flakes gather
tatting like lace,
upon the pine trees
a fascicle resting place.
My gigantic white oak
A gigantic white oak 
my favourite tree,
can hold more life
than either you or me.
Black and white
Looming high in the sky,
it's limbs, grey and old,
carry a strength 
for the world to behold.

My cedar bench
Somewhere, under the snow
a tiny cedar bench
continues to glow.

Fall, Leaves, Falls,

Fall, Leaves, Fall

Fall, Leaves, Fall.     by Emily Bronte

Red and brown

Fall, leaves, fall;

Golden Yellows

die, flowers, away;

Reds, and greens, and yellows

lengthen the night and shorten the day;

Shades of green

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Yellow fades to orange

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

Bright yellow and a paler green

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

From green to reds and yellows

Blossoms where the rose should grow;

Oranges

I shall sing when night’s decay

And the sun shines through

Ushers in a drearier day.

A Blue Book

A blue book
I'm looking at a blue book 
Laying on a shelf. 
It's staring back at me,
Yelling about itself. 

Pick me up, it says. 
Open the cover and turn the page.
It holds the information 
That you are afraid to crave.

You need to study me
To read my every word.
You will feel so much better 
After every word is heard.

But I only stare
As tears roll down my face.
I hate its very existence, 
I want it to disappear without a trace.

The Humble Donkey

A cute little family of donkeys…
Calm, patient, steady.
When Mary needed a ride
the donkey
was ready.

They protect herds 
from wolves and coyotes. 
Their hee haw, 
is actually quite throaty.

They are stronger than horses,
their strength and stamina 
can, of course,
be a contending force.

Highly intelligent 
their capability of learning, 
often leaves other animals
yearning.

For their smile,
that can be seen for a mile.

So the next time
you want to use the word 
Donkey, as an insult 
take yourself to task
And don't be an A....

Valentine’s Day

Bouquets
Rose petals 
and flowers.


Flowers 
Greenery 
and lavender hues.
Daisies and lilies
will remind me of you.

And flowers 

Pinks and purples 
Peaches and white.
Red roses reaching

Greenery 

Hands 
Twisting and turning 
Bouquets are forming.
A palette on the floor 






Ribbons are twisting  
Paper is crinkling 
Water is flowing 
Vases are glowing. 





Happy Galentine’s Day!





And
I love you!
