Cold Rain Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 For the boring times.... An Ode to Sleet Winter's chill upon the air Solid water everywhere Dropping down a frozen treat Fall the first few pings of sleet Brilliant ice in shape and form Raised in voice within its storm Growing fast in depth and seat Piles a proper fall of sleet Frozen wonder all around Bursting forth in sight and sound Born where cold and moisture meet Culminated now in sleet Green is changed to milky white As daylight darkens into night Starlight echos at its feet The warming glow of wondrous sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It is going to snow in a few days. I rememberThis time last year. My heart, O how it bled!Had I been asked: 'What ails thee?' I should have said:'Nothing. Leave me alone. It is December.'O those bad thoughts! I had no good of them,This time last year when heavy snow was cloakingThe world outside. And now as then I am smokingA pipe of briar-wood with an amber stem.And still my old oak chest of drawers smells good.But I was foolish, for these things can neverBe changed, and they do only pose as cleverWho drives away the things bred in their blood.Why do we think, and why, like the bees' humming,Must these our tongues be talking? We understandKisses and tears although they speak not, andSweeter than sweet words is a comrade's coming.The stars have been baptized by name and classAlthough they need it not, and figures showingThat beautiful comets through the darkness goingWill pass through light will force them not to pass.Where is last year's distress? My memory fails me,What weeds of woe were in this heart full-grown.I should answer: 'It is nothing. Leave me alone,'If someone in my chamber asked: 'What ails thee?' - Francis Jammes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The South of 85 sonnet! GSP was calling for 5-7", And my dismay, sleet started to fall from heaven! A crusty inch is all that did fall, It was not a good day, not at all! That's part of being south of 85, The interstates cause havoc in snowlovers lives! The next time I hear we might get an inch, I will hope the 850 temps won't put me in a pinch! I heard it thunder the other day, Per Brick, the next winter storm is only 10 days away! I hope the anal logs don't let us down, I hope to not end this winter with a frown ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Great job guys. Funny stuff! Wherefore Art Thou +NAO North Atlantic Oscillation Why doest thee ascend? Just for once why canst thee drop From now till winter's end? Vortex over Greenland When shall thee yonder roam To different and distant shores To make anew your home? Summer ridging welcomed to A perfect sleepy spot But when winter beckons thee Stay fastened you cannot Oft we thus have dreamed Of friendly NAO But night's illusions soon reveal The lack of winter snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just when I thought you couldn't be revered more, the moles have christened a new drink after you. It's something of a mystery, but I know it has draino, anti freeze, and EverClear in it, lol. They call it the StarFleet Hyperdrive. They are all toes to the moon at the moment, but when they come out of it, I'll try to get you the receipe.

I was hoping you would see that. I wrote that one for you. I'm open to other requests too. Otherwise, we'll just make it up as we go along. Say hi to the moles for us!

Cold Rain Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 There is no snow There is no cold This same old crap Is getting old Every winter Same sad story Always waiting To find glory Winter never Enters quickly And it leaves us Feeling sickly Maybe someday We'll change our luck But for right now Decembers suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
