On occasion
I’ve been known
To love a storm

The bitter cold
The falling snow
The wind’s howl, so forlorn

Well, perhaps it’s not
The storm I love—
Not the storm, alone

More so, the care
And love I feel
Tucked safe within my home

Mother Nature has spoken.
Her laws can't be broken.
The Solstice has arrived,
This old year won't long survive.
There's no secret to this celestial event,
It's a natural occurrence we can't prevent.
It brings a glow of cheer,
As we await a brand New Year!

At the solstice
The sun permeates the firmament
Of the mountain province.

A kiss under the leaves me stranded with no oars, on a with no map, a journey with no compass. The carolers sing, the lights twinkle, the bows sparkle, the honey ham wafts its aroma. In this moment I am happily lost.

I
Looking for
You mum
Are you there?
Is this heaven?
I’ve written a book
And want to make
You proud
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Just whisper
Something
Anything
So I know
That you’re near
I think of you
All the time
No one will
Ever replace
You my dear

in her asylum
of sacrificial silence,
she cradles
her crumbling psyche
his chromatic lies,
buried between her ribs
and heartsick agony
spill
with indignity
he carves her
into
nothing
and yet,
she
renders him the knife

Our commander-in-chief, our clumsy clown, tells everyone, everywhere, every time, that he has a plan...

He doesn’t, never did, never ever

He’s a flim flam man

Thank goodness you are here.
I didn’t expect you to let me in so willing, who were you expecting?
Are you not one of the folk? I sent a message, she is possessed.
She is not possessed just very spoiled but I’ll take her anyway, no charged. hissed the Cailleach

And then her hands take on a life of their own, & she paints furiously. Soon, scarlet gushes over taupe, coral flirts with jade, aquamarine cavorts with ivory, and purple trips over cerulean as it gets intoxicated by the drops dripping from her fingers.#vss365

her tenebrous premonitions
that she
would become
an outcast to him
finally
came to fruition
punished, shunned, then jettisoned
~as if
she were
a mortal sin~
she must
end their artifice
close this portcullis
and never
enchant his realm
again

Icicles from spindly branches, and flurries swirl to the of winter. She sits, rocking, staring through the broken window pane, warmed by memories of a Christmas long past. Shadows of twinkle lights roam over her ghostly smile.

The of a quintessential love is to the heart—the scope of its blossoms & blossoms—sometimes from the very start—or so it would seem—That nothing incredible is impossible but yet another sweet dream.✍🏽#Bravewrite

Prism illusions
arc in the
Sunlight meets water vapor,
and light wavelengths dance.
Red light waves are long,
Violet lightwaves are short.
Both outline rainbows,
eye receptors report.
Be inspired by visions,
you believe are there.
Purple looks good
in your hair.

It only took bells or an of snow to set off Ed the Elf’s Memories haunted him, like that time he mixed up the naughty & nice lists.

“Santa! Help!” wrote his son.

The bottle of “Xmas spirit” Santa sent worked a treat.

Blitzen took several puffs of breath, and out came a giant sneeze. The nasal boom scared the other reindeer! Santa pulled the reigns, gaining control before the sleigh saving the presents with glittery paper and bows. “Phew!”
