“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter” Billy Connolly

Winter, Winter

Oh winter, winter
You are such a splinter
In our collective derrières

Oh winter winter
I am using my printer
Producing images of summer

Oh winter winter
The whitish tinter
Gets old really fast

Oh winter winter
Do I really sound bitter
Just kidding, I’ll get by 😉

“Winter covers the world in crystal white magic” Carolyne Roehm

Frosted

Like icing on the cake
Frosting forms on the window
Where ever the wind cold blows
The fragile frozen flakes
Suddenly, without warning, appearing
Before once more disappearing
Shapes for the imagination
The nature’s true creation
Trying them to capture
Preserve for the future
Always fails
The only thing, which remains
Is a tall tale
Without any trail

“Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Basking in the Sun (Daily Photo 2015-12-28)

The working day has begun
Must admit it, just no fun
Looking out the window
Seeing cold weather and snow

Just for a moment
My mind wanders
Back to holidays
Back to the time
When I was
Basking in the sun

“I had a rule that I had to go to bed before the sun came up. So I used to look up the sunrise times because I thought it would be bad karma to be going to bed as dawn was arriving” Eric Schmidt

Tuesday Morning Sunrise

Tuesday morning Sunrise
What a pleasant surprise
For the early morning riser
What could be finer
Than being greeted by the magnificence
Of mother nature’s excellence
On this fine december morning
A few days before holiday glory

“Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow” Fran Drescher

Yellow

Not quite a rose
Still has its thorns
Gorgeous in its pose
A little red adorns
Not quite a flower
Still has the power
Each time to wow her

“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast” Charles Dickens

Contrasts, Two

Enjoyed the fall
On many a stroll
At the door
Winter is knocking
With white
Everything blocking

Contrasts, One

Black on blue
The Autumn is due
For turning of Winter
Like a splinter
In your index finger…
