Autumn; Winter waits every year to see her, His persona attracted to her warmed temper. But she arrives before him, often not by much, And, exits on winged Demeter’s pumpkin patch. His chivalric quest, epic as that of Sir Gawayne, He plies her with gifts near the Etruscan plain, They vanish like ice cubes inContinue reading “Fall’s Scepter – A Poem”

No apology – A poem
With no apology, Winter clings to the city, In a blanket of white. Undaunted, Spring Steps up its ordained march, To adorn the earth, With a glorious coat of many colors.
Frozen solid – A poem

Sub-Zero
Winter’s hand clasp tightly to its currency- a mind-numbing minus fifty one degrees Celsius and change today.

Cheer for the day
As the days grow shorter (if they haven’t already where you are), it can sometimes be challenging to keep one’s cheer, one’s joie de vivre, one’s joy for living. Moreover, one’s get up and go, seems to have got up and went. It becomes that nostalgic time when – lounging in fuzzy slippers becomes aContinue reading “Cheer for the day”
“Things could still be new if you were willing to believe they still mattered.”
Here in the, sort of, North West, winter has come. It is just a few flakes for now which began yesterday but, you know what is coming. I enjoy the fall and there is still the beauty of the fallen leaves to look at.
