The Snowflake Chronicles

Short March Poems

1

A palm trimming wind
blows through the streets of Las Vegas
shivering tourist.

2

The arctic express
blows down Sunrise Avenue
freezing exposed skin.

3

March motivation
early springtime's fickle winds
sometimes cold and sometimes warm.

4

Freezing temperatures
I shiver under layers
Of sweat shirts, sweaters.

5

The arctic express
blowing through Las Vegas
drives locals indoors.

6

Cold penetrates the
marrow of my bones and chills
internal organs.

7

Get up from your chair,
go to the front or back door,
open it the door
and just stand there looking into the yard.

8

Pigeons at the curb
Pecking on the black asphalt
Look for scattered crumbs

9

Beautiful weekend
Blue sky, scattered clouds, slight wind,
And mild temperatures.

10

I pray,
I meditate,
and then I write
about the my Beloved.

11

A charcoal gray cat
Wanders through the neighborhood
Going home to sleep

12

Birds nest in pine trees
Songs of gratitude greet dawn
Children walk to school

13

Spring celebrations
The vernal equinox
Followed by Naw-Ruz
Followed by Easter

14

A bird intoning
Gratitude and thanksgiving
For another day of life

15

Sunday decisions
are easier when sipping
a hot cup of joe.

16

On Sunday morning
my neighborhood moves slowly
the birds are singing.

17

encourage motivation
accomplish the goal
then celebrate

18

encourage motivation
look at success
then look at failures

19

How do I improve?
Is there a formula to follow?
Should I use a schedule?

20

beautiful March day
sunny with warm temperatures
a nice Saturday

21

Reading and meditating on God's word
has expanded my own horizon and concept
of family to take in the planet and all of humanity.

22

What is patience?
It is finding something else to do
while you are waiting
for the other shoe
to drop.

23

How do you practice patience?
Sit down and say a prayer.
Sit down with your journal
and write.
Sit down on the couch
pick up a book
and read.

24

March wind dancing
across Las Vegas valley
temperatures rising

March wind is dancing
at twenty-five miles per hour
along Sunrise Avenue
