POEMS AND OTHER SHORT IDEAS DURING THE WINTER OF 2025-REFLECTIVETHOUGHTSBYBARBARA

 Sometimes ideas come to me.

Sometimes I try to write some poems.

Without revisions here are some winter ones.

So much snow

And no place to go

Shovel shovel make a pile

It will take quite awhile

Cold wear your mitts

Be careful of snowball hits

I see the Sun

    shining from the East

Making my backyard

    snow glisten

A sign of hope

      or just wishful thinking

Oh Sun shine on

       give the world hope

As you rise each day

       as our nourishment

Our anchor in the universe

      our source of warmth

The Red Eyes go over

A pleasant sound

Normality

The flights are arriving

Who is on board

Coming home

Business travel

a tourist

Visiting family

A plane full of many stories

February 13 2025

It has fallen

White, soft and deep

Snow

Seeing the small Plow

Lights on at 5 am

Out working 

to clear that parking lot

Making it safe

For those using that space

Winter and all

The hill close to home by the Library

Will have children with sleds and circle toboggans 

Going down the slope

Gleefully squealing 

Hitting the bottom

Then running up the hill

To go again

The Plow

The Hill

The Snow

My house is on a street close to Yonge Street. There are two businesses beside me so I could see the parking lot being plowed. Up the street is the Central Library with a good hill to sled.

Every morning around 6 am the planes from the West go over. Thus the name the red eyes.

I try to take in t he images from my environment. It is great to travel and see new things but being present in my world is also important. My world can be as small as I want or as big with may landscapes and larger views.

I hope you enjoyed these short poems and reflections of some moments in my life.
