A chilly breeze whips bare trees, Traces in the pure white ground. Some cold nips at hidden skin, And loneliness is abound. No birds out to chirp and sing, Fish are trapped under ice sheets.
A strange thing happened a short time back.....it began to snow and as soon as it had settled down, covering the country in a spectacular white carpet, as if by magic, families came out to play.
As I glide through the snow. I realize the world. The world of peace and tranquility. The world of timeless beauty. Hearing the crunching of the snow. With every stride of my skis below me.
So the diet will have started I should be eating lettuce right now Finally Christmas has departed But a visit to the gym is not going to happen somehow.
To all my family, my friends, my loves, both future and former, merry Christmas.
Happy Christmas For I haven't got time To humor you all With a holiday rhyme There's a turkey for roasting And gifts I should wrap There's cocoa to make Carols to overlap I know it's only the...

#adventchallenge Hanging on every word, They crystallise on my breath, Returning to their liquid state, As they fall to Earth.
Snowflakes dancing, Across the midnight sky, Pure white acrobats, Spinning and twirling by. Laying down to rest, On the crisp and dewy grass, Sparkling quilt of white, Now, falling thick and fast.
Blueing fingers. With air that lingers. And nips at your nose. Sending shivers down to your toes. Wrapping up warm. Braving the storm. The weather drops. Colder, the tweeting stops.
What a lovely afternoon. The sun low in the sky. Trees coloured aflame. As wispy clouds float gently by. The tide has long departed. Mud flats are revealed. Waders pick for food.
As an atheist why should I celebrate the birth of Christ. Is Christmas for Christians or some spiritual heist. If I sent you Yuletide greetings, would you think me a fool.
Oh Autumn, how the trees do weep for you, Each falling leaf a tear for the cold, Torn from branches for a cause that is true, To mourn the lateness of a year grown old.
Back to school and work today, For time has up and run away, Half term was only one week long, Now Evil sings his cruel, cruel song.
November...
Autumn night Dry winds blow I dream of the front yard Covered with snow A white winter evening Is what I desire, And in a warm hearth sits a crackling fire.
I look forward to. The white-gold of. The first snow. Of winter, a shock,. Raw, leaving scars. On the land with. It's freeze-thaw-repeat,. Gloves on fingers,. Boots on feet,. Deep cold seeping in.
Curling by the fire, To pass the cold nights. Winters harsh wind, Is no match for coal's fights. A steaming mug of hot chocolate, Creating steam tracks above.
Shades of red, shades of Gold Paint a palette of beauty so big and bold The leaves they swirl around my feet Crunching under Wellies As I meander down the street Cosy firelight, draws many pictures...
Been down by the river Sunshine reflecting off The water, disturbed By swans, boats, fishers, Sat on a well worn bench Next to the fountains, Smell of chlorine And cut grass and the last Few remnants...
Lol clever title huh. So tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation for me, and I'm not sad at all that it's ending. I suppose that's very un-teenager-like of me, but I seriously have had enough.
Autumn is coming I can feel it in the air. Suddenly seeing Halloween crap everywhere. Summer hasn't even started yet. It's always been so very wet. Happiness seems hard to find.
The start, The end, The poets friend, The writers song, All day long, As darkness does fall, Upon us all, We laugh and smile, This whole odd while, And yet besides, The frost resides, Hidden in...
Sun is shining. Clouds are hiding. Away from this blue sky. Cause it's July. So we should enjoy this. Cause in a few months, sunlight and hot weather is something we are going to miss.
