Dull December Day
It’s a cold and dark December day.
It’s a day to cuddle up.
It’s a day to wrap a blanket round
sipping cocoa from a cup.
It’s a day to wiggle toasty toes
wrapped up in fluffy socks,
and listen to the gentle sound
of softly chiming clocks.
It’s a day to give our thanks for life,
and a day for deep reflection.
It’s a day to spend in reverie and
in thoughtful introspection.
Let it rain.
Sydney Australia 2025
Two more killers load their guns.
Many more will die.
Another nation weeps with grief.
Another day goes by.
Brown University 2025
Another shooter loads his gun.
Another life is ended.
Our nation has a broken heart.
Perhaps it can be mended.
Cutting Back the Dahlias
Goodby, Bright Dahlias!
Time to go!
Your vibrant splash
made quite a show.
Now tubers rest
neath winter’s rain.
Come summer,
may you bloom again.
My Candle
My candle lifts its flaming head.
It spreads its golden glow.
It burns for family and friends.
And strangers I don’t know.
It burns for hope throughout the world.
For strangers ev’rywhere.
It burns for peace and promise
and to ease this world’s despair.
Bright Blessings for This Day
Bright blessings light your path today.
Bright blessings swirl around you.
Bright blessings paint your heart with joy,
and love and peace surround you.
This day.
Northwest Winter
Days stay dark.
Nights hang long.
Winter season’s here.
Rain-weighted skies.
Flood waters rise.
Desolate. And drear.
