RE: RE: no snow

The Berkshires rely on their snow.
no skiing, no tourists, no dough.
Warm winter makes my life easy,
but up there they like two below.

RE: no snow

Snow fell on the mountain
ski lifts hanging high
A flake hasn't drifted
down where I reside.

hugs are my reason for being.
I give and receive flagrantly.
holding somebody for seconds
is pure penicillin for me.

no hugs, no bugs
no shrugs - that's fine
I prefer in my self pity
a different vintage of whine

shrugs

no one to hug
no one to bug me
no one to shrug me off
nothing is better than sitting alone
with a sneeze and a whine and a cough

RE: no snow

January sent no snow down south
Blue skies and farm land expand
Yet, bitter cold has found the crops
"bless our hearts", the sun came out to warm them!

springtime in December,
winter was on hold.
overnight in January,
it finally got cold.

thunderstorms. Really?
did someone fail to flip a switch
on this fickle January?

hugs are part of our existance.
and that is why I'm so insistent
to get my share any way
and make it through the coldest day.

it is, indeed the way to go;
Keeping germs close by.
Sharing isn't always good

lots of things are not the same,
many things are strange.
I pick my way among the stuff
and choose from all the change.

January's not the same

temperatures as I grow old
calibrate a different way
two arms that reach with no one to hold
make a blizzard of the day

RE: hugs

missing the arms that held me
missing the face, the smile
missing the voice, the laughter
wondering all the while
would it have helped had I held him closer
could I have frozen the moments in time
must I just be content
that precious moments once spent
bought only memories of what was once mine?

There is something cooler

coming together
supporting each other
warm in cold weather
dancing after dinner like my father and my mother

when penned these words
were not so poignant

change is exciting
but leaves us to wonder
if some kinds of change

RE: home

we come together to eat and laugh,
telling stories from the past
music playing from songs back then,
sometimes we wish we could do it again.

It's not about the changes,

There's much that cannot be replaced,

The past is a narcotic
wired with a vice;
desire for the mechanics,
