2019!

I don't know how I met you,

I don't know why!

I will never want to turn around and say goodbye!

All I know is when I was with you,

You made me feel,

Everything just had its own purpose to be!

Can I - follow you, if you think its alright?

I don't think I am ready to be tucked in tonight!

I want to do more exploring,

And see what's missing,

That really needs to have been seen!

Frozen leaf

When I did fall and thought I was gone,

I got trapped in water,

That was on the ground!

The water did freeze and I felt it on my skin,

'Twas way too cold for any survival instincts!

But least did I realize the ice on me,

Just kept me in a state that I was last seen!

My colours just remained,

My veins were preserved,

Though cut from life

In a way that wasn't heard!

Sometimes when all you think is you are dead,

Spare a thought or two to the preservers instead!

They might just be freezing but keep you at your best,

If you did realize it,

Be sure, you did your best!

let us go! let us go! let us go!

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

=========================

The weather outside is delightful,

And the fire is getting to be frightful,

Since we have places to go,

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

It does show signs of stopping,

It will begin to freeze by next morning,

The sun will set per usual flow,

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

When I finally drive you uptown,

I will see the bicycle counter grow,

And Waterloo tracks it down,

To plan better for the people you know!

Oh, the weather outside is delightful,

And the fire is getting to be frightful,

Since we have places to go,

Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!

Holiday Alert!

You better watch out,

You better not drive,

You better get driven by sober guys,

Holiday policing is all over town!

They might not know you when you were drinking, 

They might not know every shot you took,

They might not know when you had TOO much wine,

But they will come to know the truth!

Rumba

Quick. Quick. Slow,

On the dance floor.

An oil drum in between,

Imagined as if seen.

Drag your feet and pause,

To beats and don't get lost!

Giving or making a turn,

Are things you have to learn!

A frame that cuts across,

At the end of a rumba box,

Is named a cross body lead,

A hard one - or so it seems!

Cross your foot on the floor,

Going in rounds of three or more,

But stop at two times three,

And resume the beginning piece!

To break from the box we got,

A pattern of open walks,

One in set of three,

Another beats my memory!

Random Poetry

"To rain or to snow?"

The clouds want to know!

Missed in their choice? 

An ice pellet show!

Beat on windows, 

Beat on roads,

Beat on everything, 

Except green grass floor!

A gentle kiss on its forehead,

The grass just froze with a glow!

Can it keep this minute forever?

With time being on a roll?

The squirrels did forage food,

The geese were up in the trees,

The ice is now all around,

Making everything a skating ground!
