Winds, snow, cold, to even open the door takes one so bold...


Poem Artwork

Nasty winter predicted
No chance this year of my being evicted,
Heat paid for by complex, unrestricted,
To warmth, I’m afraid, I have become quite addicted…

Still quite a few months away,
Are winters freezing temperatures,
To find out this far in advance, how can they,
Figure out what pressures they have to measure,
To decide if our upcoming winter is going to give us displeasure…

Last winter I was inside in a bed the whole time,
Was told how it was so very quite cold & blustery,
Now I will have to experience it for myself,
Unless for the whole winter upcoming I stay inside and make rhymes…

I was remembering the physical struggles and challenges you've had over the last few years as I read this. It's really amazing that through all of them your love for writing has never diminished. God has blessed you with a true gift, bubba, one that I always enjoy. Stay warm. Incidentally the desert in my recent poem (alone in a desert) is a metaphor for a frame of mind. I live in the foothills of La Mesa with my wife Michele. Peace to you...

It has been foretold that in summer it will be warm and in winter it will be cold.

So there!

Let it snow.
Let it blow.
I'll watch the mecury,
and go with the flow.

Good point Ed! Them farmers must have some kinda weather stick better than any computer. They stick in in bull crap and out comes the news! Sounds similar to our system here in town, eh?

Last winter I was inside in a bed the whole time,
Was told how it was so very quite cold & blustery

Last winter I was outside in sub-zero, Arctic-like weather
Rescuing far too many freezing, starving, abandoned dogs

I really hope that they are wrong about this coming winter.

I don't know how they know but The Farmer's Almanac is nearly always right on target. Pretty wild. (Get your thermal underwear ready, hon!)

Love ya!

Jane

Virolution by Frank Ryan

Our human genome is full of viruses similar to HIV-1. These have played an important role in human evolution and still play an important role in human embryology and day-to-day chemistry. Just how important are they to our evolution past and future?

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
