Winter in Grand Forks, North Dakota. If you have lived in snow country, especially as a child, this rhyme will take you back. (Published in North Dakota Horizons Magazine, Winter 2007).
Remembering Winter By Bill Kirk (Published in North Dakota Horizons Magazine, Winter 2007) Silhouetted sentries stare, Standing leafless, stark and bare. Snowflakes, on their wingless flights, Swirl in winter wind that bites…. Star-filled skies on nippy nights, Silv’ry, golden strings of lights. Snowsuits, mittens, itchy tights, Sledding, skating, snowball fights; Steaming cocoa—whispered sips, Smiles on children’s rosy lips. Sticky, frosted finger tips; Scrumptious s’mores and chocolate chips; Scents of winter in the air, Sounds of children everywhere; Stockings filled with special treats, Stories Grandpa still repeats. Simply said, though far you roam, Special memories bring you home.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
