Florida Winters

If you are shoveling snow right now ... please don't be mad at me! SL


Sparkling sand pretends to be snow,

Surfboards try to be sleds

Soft breezes whisper in the air,

while we mulch our flower beds.

Bright, youthful oranges dangle

from arms of their mother tree

The grapefruit toasts its nectar

as the finest of chablis

 

Great herons feast as they did all summer

from ice-free ponds, where fishes skate.

Florida knows of the north in winter;

but it just cannot relate.

Hi Sam, I've just finished reading all eleven of your poems. I must say that I agree with your comment on your DEN page. You may be a LATE BLOOMER, but you most definitely have BLOOMED!!!! Loved every one of them, you're very talented. I note that it's been quite a spell since you posted. Hope that doesn't mean that you no longer write.

I sent you a note a bit ago, responding to your comments on my website. Hope you received it. Love your work, would love to hear from you. Thanks, your Florida neighbor, Dick

Oh, Sam, I love it. Of course, I love Florida in any season (even the summer) but the folks up north just don't get it. We are so much more than a vacation stop-over.

i would love to be in sunny Florida as to today, but not possible. Glad you passed on what grows there and how it is with the sean and all. This little piece of work brings much peace to me too. Love to you and Have a Happy New Year too.
