Dripping, soggy, and wet, from nature’s sneeze

Leaves, soaked in dew, a brisk morning breeze.

Glistening light, from soft rays of the sun

Another day of beauty, has nearly begun

Sun rises ever quickly, against a muted sky

Brings about warmth, and with her, I sigh

Each morning, when I awaken, with eyes wide

I thank the Lord, for another day, diversified.

March has joined us, on this weather spiral

Her radiant sun, trying hard to appease

What I’d really prefer, is warmth, gone viral

I’m so tired of cold, and so are my knees!

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Oh my, Petunia, this is just what we need

Do you think anyone will notice, if we go?

Her cat looked out, in a most curious way

Not quite sure what happened to the snow

Through the door of her dreams, lay a beach

Blue skies, white clouds, and palm trees sway

Not like back home, with the dark and drear

Where the days were nothing more than gray

The sun brightened, as they stood there in awe

Warmth filled this place, not covered in white

Surely, they wouldn’t miss them, for a short while

The one’s left back home, on that cold winter night

Take down from the attic, the strings of lights

Connect them together, to create a soft glow

Bask in the warmth, by the fireplace, tonight

While outside, the ground, is covered in snow

A blanket he kept, so soft and warm
Held the faintest hint of her perfume
He refused to toss it, into the wash
The fragrance would no longer loom

Her coffee mug and glasses, sat there
On the patio table, they were waiting
For her to return, to finish her book
The one, she said, was so frustrating

He made sure the candle was burning
Should she return to this place, near dark
So he sat on the porch swing, humming
Like they used to do, in the county park

A heavy sigh, now escaped his lips
As he slowly stood, to go back inside
He couldn’t bear to blow out the candle
So he stood there instead, and just cried

The love of his life was no longer
Her dreams were never quite fulfilled
He gathered her warmth, from the blanket
But he still couldn’t evade death’s chill
