[title] => WINTER'S WAR

[hometext] => Wyoming winters bring on terrible warfare. In our yards, on our windows, trees, and frozen ground all around!
[bodytext] => 'Tis a busy mid-morn, forlorn, a war is being waged. My front yard, and house is the battlefield! Everyone, everything is now enraged! Ice on the ground, trees, fence, windshield.  Frozen water sparkling sabers, shivering with outrage! Frame the windows and fall from the gables.... Commanded to hang imminently ready for carnage rampage. Dripping with hate, knowing no fables...... Jack Frost to them is real, short lived, sun melts! Constant below zero temperatures take their toll. No sunshine warmth to thaw squirrels pelts. Likewise the ground so frozen, so be Mr. Mole! Mr. Cardinal has taken sides against Mr. Blue Jay! The corn they love frozen stiff....no give away! Little ants are dying in their nests, frozen! No defense their tiny tots....die slowly without action! Amidst this warfare, I feel helpless, with indignancy. I raise my eyes to the sky to plead, for some decency! The blue sky is shattered, with clouds frozen and battered! Jack Frost has also reached the heavens, all is tattered! I mercifully pray, for a warm sunshiny day. And yet when they hear my pleading words, they say, "Please don't pray that way....for a sun's ray, don't you understand, it's a dead give away?" The moans, the outcries, the agony is all I hear! Some may be saved, a few, but most we fear, will die a slow death, of warm thawing, "Meltingness!" When Jack Frost returns tonight, it will be the end of us! Walking inside, I know they're right, I close my door. With humans you concentrate on saving some, amour. With nature their fight of existence involves much more! A magic wand would be nice....waved just once to melt the ice! Waved twice to keep Jack Frost at bay, for yet another day!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
