Hop over the snowy hedge why don’t you!

“There is snow, everywhere! It’s just unbelievable! (As we would ever get snow up here, the North way, so close to the Polar bears who walk the streets in here!)“ Gun Roswell

Hop over the snowy hedge why don’t you!

There really is no escaping, when the weather gods are breaking in, the wintry storms filled with, well, snow! Lots of it too! Yeah, it’s really pouring now!

There really is no escaping, just trying to muddle through all that, heavenly shit, that is if you are not really into it and the way it just hits, one day, out of the blue, when it was just yesterday, all over grey, and then, the next one, all white fun!

There really is no escaping, nowhere to run, certainly no place to hide, as it really pours when it rains, well, snows really, but it’s all the same to me, as I don’t really it feel. Call me a spoil sport, I don’t really care, as I don’t really like winter, and it’s said out loud so there!

So, to recap what this winter wonderland is all about, at least from a point of view of someone, who could so very easily do, without, as it is a total louse (talking from experience):

Below freezing temperatures one day, the coldness seeping through, no matter the thick clothing you really cannot move in, soon enough, you will be holding your ears, fingers and toes, in a bunched up ball and when you get home, the colouring of red and blue, are the overall hue.

The next day, the slippery slope is the way, as the slightly above degrees, lets you for a moment breathe. Alas, the icy bumps on each and every surface, as the “warm weather” adjusted the pure white snow, to something so awful, not even a shovel, can break it apart, not even if you try to use it, like really smart!

Then, there are those days, when you wished just in your comfy bed to lay. The white powdery stuff just keeps on pouring, the winds howling and roaring. Because when you are finally trying to get out of the house, even to check your mailbox, then guess what? The snow has pushed itself against the door, and there is no way, to crack it open, not even screaming and kicking on the floor helps, trust me, I’ve tried. So, the advice here is to stay at home, until, gone is all that snow.

But hey, no matter how bad the weather gets, at least, the pictures, well, those look great!
And if you really think the grass is still green on the other side, you really cannot so clearly see, and yes, even snow free!? Hey, why don’t you just try, to hop over the snowy hedge? Yes, well, what did you really except, some miracle or another to wash away all that, snow? (Ok so no last rhyme, which is fine, as this is a bastardised version of a poem anyway.)

Day Dreaming

For just a split second
The window view beckoned
Peeking between the shades
As the sun slowly cascaded
Soon enough the sky was grey
As the light had faded away
Possibly to be seen again
Tomorrow

Polar Day

Blue day on Monday
Blue day on Tuesday
Blue day on Wednesday
Blue day on Thursday
Turquoise day on Friday…

See where I am going with this?
Oh, weekend, Thou art such a bliss
Why cannot it always be
Friday for me?

Expectations

“Season’s Greetings”

Splayed across, a mundane postcard
The image looked more like
Something from my backyard

“Well, it is the season of dreaming,
So who am I the one of ill speaking!
Happy Holidays to one and all
Living in houses grand, or small!!

Cold Path

A walk in the snow
Was going quite slow
Footfalls immediately covered
Where the cold wind blows

Those who sang
“Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”
Did probably never their nose blow

For, a runny breathing apparatus
Will soon bring up the stomach flatus
And this will bring a halt status
To your little afternoon practice

But never mind
Just trying to rewind
Out here in winter wonderland
Hoping not too freeze
Where I literally stand

Night Wish

Wish, upon a star
The elves would bring
A big cookie jar
A reward up to par
Would be a tune played
On the guitar

Faded Holiday Memory

A faded snapshot
Of a place, the time forgot
This was no holiday, store bought
Rather a memory
Every child should have got

with its bitin’, whinin’ wind,

A Day with the Snow

Deep,
In the wintery jungle
You may hear
The slay bells jingle
Could it even be….

In the white wind swing
A reminder
Of the nearing spring

A Day with the Snow

In minus degrees
And a cold breeze
The snow will freeze
Under the birch trees
