Dedication
These poems are dedicated to two wonderful school teachers, JoAnn Wilson and Lisa Elder, and the inquiring minds of children everywhere.
Last Dance
Winter called his children,
"Dear Cold and Wind and Snow,
the Season’s moving northward, now;
it’s time for us to go."
But Snow was not inclined to leave
and chose to stay behind;
for warmers days and gentler winds,
she simply changed her mind,
and drifted softly, round and down
in light and downy flakes,
turning, swaying, spinning; white
dresses trimmed in lace.
The frozen earth began to thaw
as flakes change into rain,
and Snow fulfilled a pledge to save
her last dance for Spring.
Commentary
When the season changes
From winter into spring,
Temperatures drop magically
and snow turns into rain.
Clouds
When the sky grows dark
in the midst of day,
and thunder growls,
in a grumbling way,
the lightening bursts
in shards of flame,
shooting sparks
at everything.
It frightens birds
and critters, too.
Do clouds have tantrums
like people do?
Commentary
When lightning shoots from cloud to ground, it stretches
a tunnel through the air, and makes you wonder
what happens when the tunnel snaps shut and the light
goes out. It makes a frightful noise, but it’s only thunder.
A Foggy Day
I stepped outside
to walk my dog
and vanished in
a cloak of fog!
It’s spooky quiet,
everywhere…
Hello!… Hello!
Is anyone there?
Commentary
Fog is a cloud of water coated
dust particles nearly on the ground;
and because of this, it’s hard to see,
and it’s difficult to get around.
Mystery
So much noise
inside the gym;
I couldn’t hear
above the din.
The children left
just moments ago,
but I didn’t see the noises
