Seasonal Snippets


Spring

cloudburst

meeting a cloudburst
between trails’ ends:
drenched! end


flower burst

meeting a flower burst
between trails' paths,
pollen-ized! end




Summer

squishing

summer feet
squishing green morning
grass. end


alit

a light alit my life
a beam, a bright beacon beckoned,
a shining, shimmering star,
a sun, shower, streaming. end




Fall

old bones

A pile of dead trees;
Decaying, white and brittle
like a pile of old bones. end


old shade

A pile of dead leaves;
Decaying, crisp, dried
a mocking pile of summer's shade. end




Winter

freezing

December, freezing
the gray trail of a tall,
billowing, smokestack. end

icing

trees, leaves, branches,
covered, frosted,
a white layer of icing. end

    Short and sweet A. Long! Sounds like a haiku? :)

    Thanks for the comment Jasveena!

    They are about nature--yes but not its not really the form.

    Haiku is:
    5 syllables
    7 syllables
    5 syllables

    Maybe I'll re-write them as haiku sometime. Good idea! Thanks again!

      Jose, thanks for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Most I had written long ago and when I rediscovered them recently, I enjoyed them myself. I wrote a few more to round out the number. Thanks again for stopping by!

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay

Winter's Way

Winter's Way Snow swirls and settles softly, down. Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white. Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls in circles, up and down, in and out. Drifting snow piles high here and there. Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage,  then, hurry to their roosts to nestle. Bright moon shines and the ice reflects it's beams between snowflakes and flurries. December's icy blanket covers field and hills. Blustery nights turn into biting cold days. Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs led by huffing, puffing mares.  Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands. Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers. Snowbound sledders find space  to steer down slippery slopes. Firewood crackles in the fireplace. Snuggled beneath fleece throws, we counter polar storms and ice-kissed frigid gales. Jack Frost's season overwhelms  and overblows with solstice ice-flowers. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Lon...

Christmas Day is here!

Christmas Day is here! Christmas toys assemble, little armies in strict array Christmas days tremble with memory's magic display Christmas ways resemble lost youth's joyous play Christmas snow remembers forgotten childhood days Christmas tinsel twinkles with the blinking colored lights Christmas memories sparkle in the yellow candlelight  Christmas tears sprinkle on the lonely winter nights Christmas years dwindle as they amble out of sight Christmas morn' sends Santa down the warm chimley, there Christmas morn' brings Jesus in the cold wood manger, dear Christmas morn' rings soundly, filled with festive cheer Christmas morn' sings loudly: Christmas Day is here! © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Merry Christmas Card:  By Souvenir Post Card Company, New York (eBay front back) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Soldier Image:  Brownie in Christmas Land by Marian Jack, 1922 via open clipar...
