So glad I didn’t

wait for the new year to start

reprograming me.

Day one twenty eight.

What do I appreciate?

Persistence, that’s what.

Exercise – a nice

warm-up on a cold day –

a needed jump start

                                                                                                                                                          JDG

Snow laden trees give

a sudden shiver, asking,

“Do you get my drift?”

                                                          JDG

Why am I talking?

The acronym “wait” should help –

sadly, it didn’t.

In supplication

or praise, trees raise outstretched limbs

and speak of winter.

                                                                                                                                                                           JDG

Sun met Frost today

and they had a sparkling talk

about what’s to come.

He wrote a check her

heart couldn’t cash since she knew

he was overdrawn.
