BEAR

BEAR VIDEO

A bear strolled through my yard tonight

Surprising, but yet welcome sight.

I know I should be scared, but not.

My only hope - he isn’t caught!

No cubs in tow, maybe a “he”

Or just a very young lady

Feeders empty...so what to do?

He takes a sniff and just walks through!

WINTER RAIN

It rains sometimes in winter.

Not often, but it does.

Last night, in February, 

Well, that's the way it was.

We've had some snow already

This rain caused quite a mess.

I was not one bit happy;

Of this I must confess.

The driveway, it was frozen,

Though puddles could be found

Amid the crusty ice and such

Between the slushy mounds.

I sighed and scraped and shoveled

Then stopped to ponder why

Just why is it we never

Get snow in mid-July?

IT'S DARK IN HERE

It's dark in here inside my head,

Without the sun, I'm filled with dread.

When February comes to call,

It seems the darkest time of all.

"Six more weeks", the groundhog said.

Then turned 'round; went back to bed

To dream of better days and times,

Of sunny skies and warmer climes.

I wish I could just hibernate

And let this harsh winter abate.

Wake to greener grasses when

Flowers bloom from showers then.

Till spring comes with skies of blue,

I don't know how I'll muddle through.

Each and every day's a test

Till summer time when I feel best.
