  1. That's very sweet of you to say and I deeply appreciate your comment.
  2. Thank you for responding, Adi, but I think my winter will depend more on my medical issues than what I might want.
  3. I'm not worried about winter, but I've been to Wisconsin, but in June and didn't see any snow. And thank you for the wonderful comments about my entry to the Poetry Anthology. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
  4. Wonderfully descriptive looks at each of the four seasons. You'll find something you can relate too as you read through each season, including a feathery friend to help liven up each of the seasons.
  5. Thank you, Val, for an intriguing look at each of the four seasons. Wonderfully descriptive and with plenty of examples of the various seasons that we can all related too. I even shivered a little as I read through Winter.
  6. Yes, and although it was written by an old man looking backward, it will also give younger readers a chance to look both backwards and forwards. We humans are all mortal. Thank you for reading and commenting on my humble poem.
  7. I hope I didn't cause you too much discomfort. And thank you for the well wishes. I'm glad you read my poem.

    Chapter 1 Wisdom

    The Haikus gave snippets of the various seasons and I can relate to the descriptions in many of them. At first I though Haiku 5 was referring to a loved one that you’d lost, and then I read Haiku 6. That referred to the death of a horse, and suddenly I wondered if they were related. My only question is, where did you see the elves in Haiku 9? Secret has me torn. I’m not sure if you meant living to help others, or merely living to please them, but the love of one’s self was very clear. Wisdom tells me that you can see what others need before they do and that he unerringly makes the correct choices for them. The problem is, that gift does not pertain to making choices for himself. Thank you for sharing, Gary.
  9. A short, but touching tale about a child that was welcomed into this world. The author uses the seasons to describe the journey. A very touching read.

    You Were a Gift

    A deeply personal and extremely sad tale about a life that was taken far too early. Being a parent, it touched me to the core. I could feel your joy as you welcomed the child in the spring, the sunlight the child brought into your life during the summer, a stillness during the fall, possibly brought on by an illness, and a sadness as winter claimed a life. Thank you very much for sharing this touching tale.

  16. Thanks, Paul, and I'm glad you were able to identify with my humble offering to the anthology.
  17. I know how you feel, Al, because at 75 I feel the same way.
  18. The seasons of my life began the day I was born And I had no control over the early days of spring I was totally dependent on my parents, especially my mom She’d dress, bathe, and feed me, and put me to bed at night The middle of spring was spent in two basic activities Learning to walk and talk, and then I started school This gave me a small amount of freedom, since I rode on a bus And my time was spent in class and having fun with my friends Summer began when I became an
  19. A man has reached his senior years and thinks back upon the seasons of his life.

    Yes, Gramps, as all older people, are wise and can see the 'what could have been' scenario for nearly every situation.
