RE: cold

While winter gives us frigid cold
icicles on branches and crisp air blows,

we think of the coming spring season
the sunshine reminds of the reason,

trees and gardens standing leafless and bare
will blossom and bloom with a colorful flare.

cold

an early evening
sunset's rush to put an end
to ever-shorter days

a silent moan
a scarcely whispered sigh
suffering subsides

a cheerful flash
raw color splashed across
a chilling landscape

The lies that hurt the most
that leave me most bereft
are the lies that through my doubt and fear
I told myself

winter is truth
a cold hard truth
breaking us down
like an aching tooth

cold

in summer's heat
to the pool we retreat

in winter's cold
on the tropics we're sold

what season ever satisfies?
autumn under rainy skies?

let peace spring up like the flowers
brightening our world after showers

Deception

Santa is a myth of course,
a sleigh is drawn by a horse;
reindeer belong on a cold northern plain --
but I'll leave that for Lapps to explain.

RE: Deception

Of all the lies told to me...
Kind or mean, large or small,
Surely, the Christmas Santa
is the least grievous of all.

white lies, cold shoulders,
winter deceptions

We all know
the truth is a lie,
hidden agendas,

Humbug, bah!
Take all your joy
and get it out of the store.
Hug your kids -- you can't buy fun packaged and wrapped any more.

RE: deception exposed

sometimes I wonder what's left.
no legends or heros exist.
knowledge has made us bereft
to wander alone in the mist.

In the Internet Age
of agendas uncovered,
like a mentor or sage:
wisdom discovered.

unpolished and raw:
I do not like Christmas,
Humbug to all!

dereliction

When I was young, we never knew
what Christmas or its trees were for.
All we saw were trees abandoned, after New Years
with the garbage by the curb.

Alexander Pope, Essay on Criticism.

A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

Alas, I know.
