first warm day of spring
first day of short sleeves
melting snow soaking growing grass
where’s the baseball glove?
in the wooden box in the corner of the garage
I love summer’s rainy days
leaves slapping together, clapping their hands in a storm
sunny days laying like a slug by the pool
go away evil world
just want to be left alone
autumn’s cool evenings on the porch
get out the flannel shirts from the attic
the feeling of death in nature
the feeling of impending doom
stone fireplaces getting their first workout
winter’s cold snowy nights
I am a man of all seasons
but winter is my favorite
tonight//////////
in the darkness of the december night
there was a pure glow and warm feeling
emanating from the snowy ground
there wasn’t another soul around
except for a snowman who was just chilling
does a snowman have a soul?
is he hurt emotionally when he’s knocked down?
snow glued on to the evergreens branches
stars like laser beams
shining so bright in the kettle black sky
moon looking over my shoulder
perfectly still and still perfect
sat in the snow and had a zen moment
I couldn’t write that with a straight face BWAHAHAHA!
could have died right then and died in pure happiness
but……….
there was more snow to shovel
a driveway to clear
didn’t care if it took all night
pulled my knit hat down nice and tight
