Reading your words makes each day with a loved one a treasure whether snowing or not - - I love the male choir and the number your chose too.

Doggerel Dave said:

And therefore what else need to be said?
Here’s a day complete unto itself.
Also nothing there to do with pelf -
It’s peace and tranquility you spread.

on those rare occasions when I may be feeling just a bit down .. maybe ..
I know that not far away if I turn to your latest page, it won\'t be long before I\'m back on form again ..

Just A Shower.
John Prophet said:

Yup, round these parts we call that 8”
of partly cloudy on the driveway.

Just A Shower.
Doggerel Dave said:

All snowed up?
So I see….
Need a cup
Of whisky?

Don’t bother to send me that whisky you promised, Andy – you need it more than I do….

Just A Shower.
orchidee said:

It\'s that thing: \'Some may think there\'s a hurricane tonight; don\'t worry - there isn\'t\'. The famous October 1987 words.
Only about 10 more days then it starts getting lighter again.
They used a lot of grit for when it was 40C maximum in Summer - remember that?
How was weather in the Dinosaur Age for us two?

Just A Shower.
L. B. Mek said:

It\'s awesome!
I just hope it\'s not just a muddy sludge by the 25th
(and now that we\'re out of the eu
they won\'t charge us a premium
when we inevitably run of salt and sand...)
but great memories for the covid generation kids
i\'m happy about that!
(a lovely read Andy, thank you!)

And It Snowed.
Bella Shepard said:

I love, love, love snow, so thank you for this lovely poem. I must have been around 5 yrs old, and I can remember getting up one Christmas morn, rushing to the window, and seeing no snow. I was crushed. So far winter in my part of the world is not cooperating, so I will enjoy it through your words.. Great write Andy!

And It Snowed.
Doggerel Dave said:

I hope you understand I am going slow.
Not interested in snow, you sound keen though;
No point in pushing a very long rhyme -
\"I’m going outside and may be some time.\"

Captain Andy Oates, your sacrifice means a lot to me.....

sorenbarrett said:

So true, but as they say; we are only as old as we think we are. Age is in the mind, but the body reminds me sometimes that certain things are no longer possible. Yes enjoy life for what it is. Lovely write.

Long Life Pleasure.
Doggerel Dave said:

Pleasure at your leisure sounds good to me;
I do what I can with what I’ve got left.
Now I’m free of surgery on my knee
I’ve no intention of doing bereft…..

Bill Haley? - now that takes me back.... Thanks Andy.

Meanwhile - Ohh, why does one want to live long - when Orchi is around to sing? It\'s a living agony! heehee.

Joy And Freedom.
Doggerel Dave said:

Hallelujah,
You all did sing -
Next year, ‘see ya
Can’t wait for spring.

Late again, Andy - Apologies (I\'m working on a shorter \'quatrain\' next time....)

arqios said:

I know I queried about a video clip but a sound recording can be put up on soundcloud. An idea rather belatedly but there you go, a long about way of saying wish we were there with you Andy!

Joy And Freedom.
sorenbarrett said:

Andy I have always loved music, it can reach deep into the soul and heart, maybe more than poetry. It is poetry with a beat and melody. Nicely done.

Wonderful to hear such joy.

just to keep them warm, 😉

Been there, done that, still there! Just the other day I needed to know the time, wristwatch on my free hand found myself fishing for my phone which has a working clock on its homescreen wallpaper. LOL. Faved!
