New poem: "Waiting for the Snow to Fly"

 

Waiting for the Snow to Fly

 

All the leaves have fallen,

and the trees are bare, another

season’s gone and soon it will

be winter again. The wood is cut

and neatly piled, ready to burn

in the cozy fire, with many new

books to read and another book

to write. I long for the first snow

fall to herald my season to create,

but I wonder which book is calling

to me: a new memoir to advance

the tale of the hero’s quest, more

stories to tell the tale, or new poems

to soothe the aching soul? It doesn’t

matter what my muse decides, the

winter is mine to enjoy, and I long

to see the first snow fly from a room

of my own in our lovely home

in beautiful Georgian Bay.
