Question: Does Old Man Winter have a name!?
Charlie walks through the weather
with a marble eye in his hand
reflecting the snow's crystal coat
his breath a stalled gust of gasconade
he is proud of his eyes and his size
he stops to write his name on the drift
he laughs
he parts his lips
he wonders what the next two thousand years
will bring!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey, you trying to outdo me on the winter poems!? Well, you just did!. So I say call him Muk Bag!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

an answer to the question
eludes me without coffee
for all the world is ice
without coffee!.

I read this and ponder
perhaps a bit perplexed
still wanting more coffee
which isn't finished yet

Am I reading a Whitman
or Pound protegee
and do I need more coffee
to write my name in the snow!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
