3 Poems for the Season

Winter Iris
© Cathleen J. Rowland


Winter snow is falling down
Covering the earth in a blanket clean
I dream of sunshine on my face
The beauty of the garden, so serene

Dawn's brilliant colors fill the sky
Dew drops glisten in its rays
Birds in song, the sweet smell of spring
The valley full of morning haze

Amidst the tulips and daffodils
And tiny white daisies tangling wild
My purple lovelies greet the day
With the innocence of a child

Standing tall with majesty
And colors of the deepest hue
Grace is added to the garden
Creating a perfect view

The winter snow is still gently falling
But I have warmth within my heart
For soon the buds will break the ground
And reveal a lovely work of art.

Winter's cold,
the year grows old.
Trees are bare,
no flowers fair do bloom.

The day it's dark
and night fires spark.
The stream is frozen.
Winter's chosen, cold and bitter.


Awaiting Spring
-Unknown
Soon the flowers will begin to bloom
Filling the air with the sweetness of their perfume
The snow will begin to thaw for springs arrival bright
The beauty of the days of the soft and warm sunlight
The blossoms on the tree will begin to gently grow
Flowers dancing upon the breeze that begins to softly blow

The beautiful sights and sounds that the spring will bring
The songbirds pretty song that he begins to sing
Upon soft wings soaring high above to his nest under skies so blue
Warmer days as the springtime begins anew
Wildlife emerging from their dens after the long winter time

Butterflies fluttering upon beautiful wings of spring
Upon the window ledges and branches the birds begin to gracefully sing
The wam sound of childrens laughter as they enjoy a springtime day
In springtime there is so much beauty in nature to see along the way
The gentleness of the beauty of the birds soaring gracefully in the breeze
The beauty of the springtime flourishing as the beauty unfolds

UGH.....

So Guess what?
Im sick again. or still. depends on the way you look at it.
anyway its just depressing. my immune system is shot. i get a cold, and i cant get rid of it. it ends up turning into tonsillitis or strep. then i have to get anti-biotics and that stuff isnt rly good for you. kills all the good bacteria in ur body. so your immune system is depleted even more, and if i get sick again it just gets worse until Spring. until it warms up and my immune system is better.
stupid viruses!!!

Sprain

okay so i sprained my wrist in -dont laugh- soccer.

I know, how do hurt your WRIST in SOCCER, right? your not supposed to use your hands! well I was the goalie, thank u very much, and I was blocking the soccer ball with the palm of my hand (i know thats stupid, right?).

the kid that was kicking the ball had kicked it rly hard and it bent my hand backward too far- thats called Hyper Extension btw.
And to make it worse, my PE coach was LAUGHING at me!! LAUGHING!!! In my pain and misery, when im jumping all over the gym practically crying, she is watching me and laughing.

so it rly hurts and im wearing this wrap thing with velcro to keep my wrist still.

i can still write- and type obviously- so its not THAT inconveniant, but the wrappy thing gets my hand all sweaty and stuff, ewwww :P!

But I get to get out of PE until it completely heals :D

UNFAIR-NESS

They say this is the most snow we have EVER had here!!!!
I thot the record was last year, but i guess we beat it. isnt that crazy???

so unfair....but i hear its supposed to snow more later, so we'll see.

Snow Day

IT'S SNOWING!!
its just white white white everywhere! so exciting.
plus- that means no school!
yippee!

Once Again...

Once again, I am sitting here on the couch, where Im supposed to be at school. I just ate a poptart, and sneezed for the billionth time today. Ive already used up 2 boxes of tissue and 2 of those lil pocket tissues that you can put in your purse.

I HATE taking medicine! Just took Mucinex and Benedryl. yummy :P

My eyes wont quit watering, and i feel awful!!! plus, im gonna have XTRA homework tommarrow b/c i missed today...ugh! this is the second day for me to miss school in the past month (past 30 days). thats probly the most ive ever missed within a few weeks of each other. i nvr miss school!! its like an impossibility for me.

Im listening to Pyromania (Die hard the Hunter) on my new Sansa Clip :), typing this. Mom is sleeping on the other couch, with Madi watching the tv -Dora, of course- next to her. Ive already heard Swiper one too many times this morning for my taste.

This day is going to be great, I can already tell.

story of my life.

Dear John Quote

"It can be coins or sports or politics or horses or music or faith....the saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who dont care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happieness is only temporary because there's nothing to make it last."
