ready to party
decked out in finest attire
looking pretty posh
ice encrusted world
makes for treacherous footing
cardinal needs YakTrax
Time and again
Those in the public eye
Wielding great power
Through accrued
Fame and fortune
Have fallen
Short of the mark
Letting us down
Miserably
In the quest for
Exemplary models
The focus could be
Narrowed considerably
By concentrating
The search
Much closer to home
It is within
Common people
That
Uncommon goodness
Often is found
Is
Darkness
But the
Absence
Of
Light
Or
Light
But the
Absence
Of
Darkness
sea of impatiens
churns up waves in the garden
orange tide incoming
Verdant green
True
Harbinger
Of
Spring
Proclaims
New life
After
Winter’s
Strife
when first freeze arrives
foliage starts to lose vigor
brown and shriveling
unlike stuffed stomachs
eyes have no limits imposed
on beauty consumed
Orange
So
Bright
A
Pure
Delight
Does
Its
Part
To warm
Our
Hearts
As
Fall
Departs
And
Winter
Starts
