Ice Storm!

The world's longest game of "Red Light/
Green Light" outside: frozen in "stop"
position. Ice has stalled everything in its
tracks. Sidewalks are a skater's dream:
even if one doesn't know how, they will
learn or fall, trying. And forget the roads:
cars going everywhichaway but straight.
Drivers think they know how to drive on
ice: they forget ice drives them, unless
one has a Zamboni. It's slick as a whistle
out there: the weather ain't fit for man or
beast. Best to stay in on days like this ...

discussion to indicate change. Hard

in neutral: want to go, go, GO!!
Storm, down season in full swing ...

B u s t e d !!

Pulled out camera, pointed it upward. Sky
was furious: must have gotten out of the
wrong side of the cloud, then stumped its
toe. It muttered a curse under its breath:
could have sworn it said something about
my mother and trucks. Reminded it that I
had video and audio capabilities and that it
was under oath: one chase that was a bust. =]

Spring's Artistry

Under a blanket of white,
Spring waits for the moment to
Burst forth. Life, temporarily stilled.
But when it happens, it will blossom in a
Thousand shades of color, a sight w e l c o m e d
For those weary of Winter's monochromatic brush ...

The pulse of life throbs
