Snow Day

The night air is cold,
Dark clouds rolling in from the north.
A chilly Zephyr brings a hint of snow.
Just a hint of this change brings people to panic.
All worried of being snowed in,
With nothing to eat.
The snow begins to fall.
Emotions amplify as people watch the snow deepen.
Glistening in the street lights,
And Christmas lights create a festive glow.
Informing us that the season is underway.
There's a kind of warmth in the air,
The wind is still,
Snow is falling fast, and heavy.
An eerie stillness is present.
Quietly falling snow amplifies the silence of the night.
People watch the snowfall and worry.
Children know, there's no school the next day.

Morning Sunlight

Sitting on a bluff, enjoying a cup of coffee.
Watching the sun rise over the horizon.
Not a cloud in the sky,
The sunlight a bright gold.
The oceans water is calm,
No waves,
Cool breeze.
Looking out over the beach,
There's a red head sitting on a rock,
Enjoying the suns morning glow.
Her hair waving in the breeze,
Is ablaze withthe light shining through.
She's facing the water watching the sunrise.
Quietly, I lift my cup to her,
Taking a final sip of my coffee.
The sun has fully risen.
I get up,
Fold my chair,
And I walk back to my car.
It's time to begin another day.

Sunday Morning Neighbors

The air is cool and crisp today.
It's not cold, it's not biting,
It's an invigorating day, near the end of Autumn.
Children cavorting in the playground,
Kids playing basketball nearby.
An old man watching the children play.
A man and woman with their children,
Feeding the ducks and geese in the pond.
Walking by, the kids are having a wonderful time.
The ducks coming to them, eating from their hands.
Cavello gets excited and wants to play too.
Moving along on our walk,
A runner is resting, stretching, and rehydrating.
We smile at each other, in passing.
A squadron of Geese came in to land,
Heading at me in a perfect 'V'.
A beautiful sight.
What a great day for a walk.
A slight cool breeze,
I think I'll continue around the pond,
Just a few more times.

Autumn

I look up at the sky,
I see a leaf floating by.
It's that time of year we call Fall.
Let's rake the leaves into a pile, and have a ball!!!
