little water bear

the little water bear

is the king of survival

with millions of years

since his species arrival

he can live in the desert

or on cold mountaintops

he can swim the deep sea

or the smallest of drops

he can go anywhere

he can live any place

from a volcanic mud

to the vacuum of space

like most other bears

there’s little he fears

he can hibernate too

for a hundred long years

he will outlive us all

for he has no true rival

this little water bear

is the king of survival

limerick 6

this morning the sun is so bright

that it’s flooding my household with light

but out in the snow

it’s still forty below

too bad it’s all bark and no bite

the fire within (tanka)

she lifted her hood

and melted my heart even

at twenty below

the temp outside has little

to do with the fire within

My Favorite Bible Verse

Blessed are those that mourn. for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)

haiku 55

a delicious moon

floats on cotton candy clouds

in a sweet moonset

limerick 5

now I went for a walk just to see

what a photo op winter might be,

but then with the snow

and the twenty below,

well, the only thing out there was me

Mugglage

Harry Potter,

Just a lad

Who lived

Under the stairs,

Found out

He was a wizard

Caught in

Mugglesque

Affairs;

Perhaps it’s true

For me and you —

In all our

Muggleness,

We need someone

To tell us

Of the magic

We possess!

Photo of the Day

Just had to post this morning’s dawn casting a warm blush on cold, blue snow.  A real study in contrast–it’s 32 below!
