The Entrenchment
Polar breath so frigid and unforgiving
With razor claws entrenchment digging
Down into the tundra in the cold cold night
Releasing autumn s hold into the early light
Digs into the heart of winter and settles in
Making a stand before the thaws begin
Old man winter with your victorious chants
Your haughty smiles and your superior stance
Have mercy upon we who battle the deep frost
Who run to warmer places then become lost
We huddle together at an open hearth in flame
The only fruit of winter to relieve the pain
Old man winter with your
Temporary entrenchment
Come springtime
Twill be time to go
Too bad for you

7yBut, bye Mister Frosty Snowman. Slowly but surely the Sun Gods of the World had awaken a few weeks ago and are now fully warming up for a verdant spring. Time to start hibernating, Old Frozen Snowman, see you next time. Like. Thanks Robert.

7yLucky we are, it’s a continual feast-a masquerade merriment all year round. Pretty soon the solstices are upon us and voila - a huge harvest moon! Again colors galore! And look who’s coming to town, soot and all down the chimney? And out there in the front yard with carrot nose? :-)) Life! I want more of it, pretty please!

7yThe temperature here in the northeast hadn't gone over freezing for 14 days until it finally broke yesterday. Thank God. I'm so glad you always comment on my poems. It makes me feel good, Nelson.
