Snowsuit

Wrapped so tightly in my snowsuit...can't breathe
Rolled to the top of the hill
And swished to the bottom

Gifts


 
I asked for a flower and you gave me a field.
I asked for a violin and you gave me an orchestra.
I asked for a fish and you gave me an ocean.
You give me better than I deserve.

Drama Onstage and Off

Comedy
Funny, happy
Laughing, smiling, cheering
Both part of life
Crying, sighing, dying
Serious, sad
Tragedy

Sleep Deprivation

It's 2 A. M.
And I'm awake.
Much more of this
I cannot take.

Vacation

I need some quiet.
I sleep in
The first day of break.

Sledding


Joey dragged his sled uphill.

Speeding down was a great thrill.

Snow Boots


Snow Boots
Fur-lined Rubber
Keeping my feet warm and dry
Sitting safely in the ski lodge
Don't want to get them wet!

Tommy Miller


Tommy Miller sat in a thriller
Watching his knuckles turn white
He got quite a scare and jumped in the air
He ran from the show into the night.

Little Mister Tate

Little Mister Tate was habitually late.
He missed so much of his life.
He didn't feel great that Mister Tate
For his world was filled with strife.

Snowman Magic?

Hoping this top hat still has some magic
I am building a snowman.
I want an adventure.

A Conversation with a Gingerbread House

"Oh, Gingerbread House,
You taunt me.
You look delicious."
"You want me?
I'm not very good."

"You are."
"Your little sister licked her fingers
all the while she built me."
"Never mind."

Oh Those Flies!

I just want to say, “I’m out of here!”
I’m in the dining room
I found a fly,
Another fly,
Another fly,
There are too many flies.
Let me fall to pieces in peace.

Long Dark Nights

Winter
The longest nights
Days are getting shorter
I find this all so depressing
Season

Winter to Summer

Winter
Darker, Colder
Snowing, Hailing, Sleeting
Six months till summer
Warming, Glowing, Brightening
Lighter, Hotter
Summer

Flood

I should be sleeping,
But I am weeping
About the water
That is creeping.

Snow Day

Snow Day
Unexpected
Celebrating my fortune
Out in the cold then inside warm
I have no school today!

Deadliest Catch

The deadliest catch
In the sea
Might not be the crab!

Ducky Lucky

Ducky Lucky sat on a tack,
Fell over backward and threw out his back.
All of the nurses and all of the docs
Took care of Ducky and gave him new socks.
