snowflakes fall from the sky
in peppermint perfection —
i kiss you with quivering lips
but cold is not the reason —
you set my winter heart on fire
and keep me warm all season

Spring blossoms flowers
Winter blossoms quietude

Comfort is — buying an XL
flannel jacket for the winter
even though you’re only a medium
because it reminds you of your daddy —
and on that first chilly day
cold seeps in though the gaps
but you don’t care because
in your mind he’s keeping you
all safe and snuggly warm.

earth dreams of spring
in her winter slumbers
she dozes on and off —
then trembles wide awake
a silent green earthquake

The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.

P.S. Thanks so much to everyone who let me know about USA Today and King Features Syndicate using this quote for their “Cryptoquote” on December 3rd. That’s pretty cool! They actually left out a small portion and quoted it as “The color of springtime is flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.” —tg, 2022
Spring is a lively swing towards summer
Summer is a hot salsa towards autumn
Autumn is an elegant ballet towards winter
Winter is a slow waltz towards spring

winter and spring overlap at the seams—
chilly breezes and warm green dreams!

February is the border between winter and spring.

learn from leaves
green is go —
yellow & red
slow down, stop
take time to rest
