Greeting and Welcome to:

Baby it’s Cold Outside…

And you are not looking forward to

Getting dressed in those heavy clothes of

The season

Just to go outside…

Photobucket

But then once you get outside

The coldness begins to mellow

And you no longer feel the biting chill of the weather,

Instead, you begin to

Smile and enjoy the sharp briskness of the day!

Photobucket


And as you begin to enjoy the cold your

Childhood memories flood back to your mind…

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Have you ever noticed how the weather can do this to you?

Changing your thoughts and spirit from

What you were first dreading?

Tonight we ask you to share your ink on how the cold weather

Changed your perspective

Once you went outside and cleared your mind.

Tell us how the weather opened your heart to fun and laughter!

And of how something special came of it


Be creative and have fun with your poem!



And Baby It’s Cold Outside……

With love and gratitude for sharing

Your time and poetry with us!

Diane and Jon!

    Okay.. I’ll try again and hope this will post and not log me off. Going on fourth try!!!!!

    Wonderful blog.. It’s cold outside here now… I remember ice skating on my grandpa’s pond as a child dressing very warm with thick layers and drinking hot chocolate with a bond fire going to stay warm in the freezing cold. The cold never bothered me as a child while playing out in it… now today I prefer to stay indoors during the freezing cold..lol

    I have to go pick up my daughter soon from work and then get to bed to start an early day tomorrow but will try and be back sometime… have a good evening all and stay warm!

    Waiting for the day when the first flakes fall from the sky
    bundle up from head to toe, old socks on our hands
    we run outside, twirling and laughing, no longer shy.
    The snow comes quicker, we start to play
    first comes snow angels, while momma watches
    out the window and makes plans…
    Slowly the snow builds, we roll a little ball,
    will it snow enough to build a snowman, even if it’s small?
    Mom comes out with a great big bowl, hands us some
    spoons and says, fill it to the rim, so we work as a team
    to fill that bowl, cause we know in a little bit,
    we’ll be eating snow ice cream!

    The piece I wrote for you before our internet went out on Wednesday night with the Southern California windstorms — all such beautiful poetry posted. Thanks so much for the wonderful thematic inspiration.

    WINTER’S CHILD

    Autumn fades into Winter,
    and leaves fall to the ground,
    tumbling down before my eyes,
    twirling and dancing
    and landing on the ground,
    shadows of late afternoon
    overtaking my thoughts,
    transporting me back
    to those days I loved
    as autumn passed,
    and flakes of snow,
    crystalline winter white,
    snows of yesterdays gone by.

    So I close my eyes
    and at once I’m there
    building forts and igloos,
    snowdrifts everywhere;
    ice castles and icicles
    gleaming in the sun,
    snowball fights lasting forever,
    at least ’till one side won.

    And as Autumn turns to Winter
    and the winds swirl about,
    rattling the windows
    and blowing the leaves down,
    this child of Winters past
    remembers every flake
    of snow that fell
    and the anticipation
    that came with
    the shorter days
    and the snows began,
    the thrill of Winter
    that lasted for months
    before melting away
    with the showers of Spring.
