Carpe Diem (seize the day)
for its beauty cast

The white of winter
drills down deep right to the core
People shivering

The white of winter
clings ethereal and cold
Steel and iron-clad

They must be laughing

They must be laughing up in Norway
or in Canada you know
at the fuss we make in England
when we have a little snow
Sides they must be splitting
Out in Russia, Moscow way
as our headlines speak of chaos
caused by snow that fell today
And the mirth that must be flowing
Out in Switzerland as we
get all up tight and flustered
with the white stuff that we see
For though yesterday the snow
covered England for a bit
the sunshine here this morning
has melted most of it!

I wrap up warm
against the cold
I feel it now
I’m getting old
There’s white on
everything around
The air is crystal
n’er a sound.
Suppress a shiver
to the chill
I take this in
and have my fill
For only winter
brings this sight
This wonderment
when all is white

They said there’d be snow
Well, its cold enough
and there’s frost over all every day
But the sea air down here
on these southern shores
always seems to get well in the way
Yes, there have been falls
which have settled for days
in the past I remember quite well
But it’s still quite a rarity
for us in these parts
when snow of the settling kind fell
Tonight we will know
for that’s when they said
that the white stuff will fall from the sky
So maybe tomorrow
a blanket we’ll find
over all that we see by and by
And some time after that
Winter’s beauty we’ll see
Over Sussex at least for a while
Its crystalline essence
providing the prompt
that will always result in a smile

A Sussex view

Sun sets on a winter sea
Golden ‘cross wet sand
as we go walking at low tide
as lovers, hand in hand
Obi’s here of course with us
trotting at our feet
His paws wet in the water
and enjoying this fine treat
And though there’s chill upon the air
there’s warmth within the sun
as it sinks beneath the Western sea
now the daytime is all done
By and by we’ll head back home
but for now a lingering stare
across the golden water
as the light, it fades out there
For this is Sussex by the sea
and these view they are our own
Never ceasing to bring wonder
Here in Shoreham, we call home
