I live in the Northwoods of Michigan where I spend my time with my head in the clouds writing and dreaming. One of my favorite poems is: A Poem in Your Pocket by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers. Long before there was a National Poem in your Pocket Day, I was carrying poems in my pocket. Real poems and poems I wrote myself. Now, I can call my poems real poems. They have been published in ezines, online, read on the radio, and sold in a retail store.
It all starts today,
Sun, games, and outdoor play.
Waves crashing and breaking on the shore,
Sand laying there, all piled up, just begging for more.
...
When snow falls,
The winter calls.
Time for snowmen to be built,
Time for sledding down the hill,
...
When the bright sunlight shines upon your face,
And snow vanishes without a trace,
You think of different ways,
To spend your summer days,
...
The only season who has names of two,
Autumn or fall? Which is preferable to you?
The season between the summer, humid and hot,
And the bitter cold winter's slot.
