Windswept Wednesday

Windswept.
On a wistful Wednesday weekday,
whilst wandering through the woods
we came upon windswept weeds and willows
weeping, whispering in the wind.

Wandering wishy-washy
as the wind wildly whispers,
waves of white wavering
as the walloping,westerly winds blow.

Waves of white

And a whimsical, whiskered wabbit

waited, wobbling, and wisely watched

the wristwatch, writing, well-versed,

wishing the whole wide world well.

Whimsical and wisely

Whimsically, whispering words of wisdom

as the westerly winds fell.

Wine coloured glasses

Slices white bread.

The Yellow House

The yellow house

The Yellow House

Have you ever wondered 
who lived in this house?
Once upon a time,
a long time ago.

When the paint was fresh,
and the structure sound.

Before the walls
of faded yellow,
had all but fallen down.

Who were they?
What would they say
if they stopped by
to see it today.

About those who
deserted their home so fine.
Was it keeping up with the Jones'
that ruled their minds?

Oh fallen house
the stories you could tell,
Squeak the mice
who live there still,
amongst the rafts, and
traveling along the broken window sill.
The yellow house

Behind the banks of fallen snow,

Behind the trees that in front now grow.

Remains of the yellow house

From which this poem flows.

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.
