Snow fell this morning: staticked white noise cauterizing snow-plowed grooves soothing yesterday's sorrows settling in for another semester. #gazellesays

Late Spring Couplet
A sure sign that winter does blast no more…
Spring rains release loam scented petrichor.
Individual Importance
There’s something in everyone that the world needs
It doesn’t matter if you are a doer of good deeds
Your soul is one of a kind
All unspeakable creativity rests in your mind
Someone can’t live without you
You’re so important, oh if you only knew
There’s a reason your here
So overcome your fear

Really
Life is so fragile
no one knows
who will disappear
what will happen tomorrow
Day 24: On Writing Poems
A new sense is emerging the one that accompanies me wherever I go and whatever I do listening for a deeper truth
Standing at the sink washing dishes Walking through the hallways amongst the students’ laughter and hellos Staring in frustration when a child refuses to listen or a dog that refuses to pee when it’s late and wet and cold Watching and wondering accepting and curious gently prompting, images mingling waiting for words to emerge
We bury bottles for good weather and never forget where they rest.
And if it rains, we all get wet but cling bourbon to our chest.
And when it suns on wedding days, consider us double blessed.
The liquid and the love flow free from lips to ears confessed.
Many noises wake me In the middle of the night. Radiators clink, clank and whine. I roll over, Into a surgical stare at the clock. 530am; right on time. Then I doze for 15 more minutes. But when I hear you scream, I bounce out of bed, And sprint to your door, Tripping over your mother’s clothes, Your toys, and my own feet.
Day 23
In a moment A mood Swing By simply saying ‘It’s a beautiful, sunny day outside.’
Facade
Your tough facade
Your shoulders so broad
Your heart so perfect, yet so flawed
I wonder when your icy attitude will have thawed
All you ever give is an acknowledging nod
With your height and stature you leave me awed
If only I was brave enough to share a ballade
If only I knew I wouldn’t crumple this poem into a wad
Then maybe I could break through your facade

snow is melting
means
spring is coming?
Boston's limmerick
there once was a small-town place where life was not lived in haste
to Boston’s they’d go when the pantry was low
to quench their unending taste
snow angel
like a thick, cream frosting settling on a still-warm cake
so does the snow angel sink into the cushiony snow
while the goaltender’s net stands at attention
awaiting the long rays to dry and render
the field ready for play
No more snow poems.
A picture will do nicely.
Worth a thousand words.
The snow is falling like little angels from heaven
I count the seconds until I get to eleven
Come down, oh come down
My mood drops and here comes my frown
Oh yes keep coming why don’t you
I hate you, I hate you
Although it isn’t the snow I’m referring to
It’s the events of today and all the...
Small, conical holes puncture the sand.
Littering the beds of mermaids,
Lead to his burrowed land,
Covered beneath a veil of shade.
Grains of stone isolate this home,
Below the world, he sits alone.
Struggles begin to brew,
Inside his shell carved until hollow,
By...
Icy Touch
The gentle hiss of winter snow
Blown away by the moaning cold,
That bites the flesh and strikes the bone
As shivers haunt the foe.
The air thick with unease
Trails the steps of broken crust,
With fingers, tracing its touch
Along the back, of the unknown
The weeps of covered trees
Beckon to be heard,
For they have told the birds
Who abide the icy purr.
Their weary cries could not hinder,
The fatal steps that crossed over,
The insidious winter’s fold,
Into a frozen world.

Slave of Freedom
Praying amongst the dead
That one does not join them.
One dies in the name of their country.
Lead cannot solve any grudge.
Perhaps the time will come when I am confronting,
The dream that will haunt me.
Captive in a global conflict
Do we stand against those taught as enemies.
Courage comes a long way.
Now drowned in a pool of blood
I have become a Slave of Freedom.
