WINTER IS OURS

Season entrance

Roaring winds dance

Winter welcome snow

Shining ice aglow

Clouds gather round

Moving snow bound

Crystal flakes fly

White heaven sky

Fade the flowers

Winter is ours

WINTER’S ART

Fall remains behind

Out of winter’s find

Brisk cold walks

Muffled talks

Fireplace warmth

The home’s hearth

Silent snow fall

Wintry call

Sun tucked away

At close of day

By nature’s chart

Behold winter’s art

by Susan Marie Davniero

WINTER BEGINS

Winter begins

Breath of winds

Whirling breeze

Barren trees

Silent snow

Frozen below

Icicles on edge

Frosty ledge

Warmth without

Coldest shout

Sun tucked away

One wintry day

Darken sights

Winter nights

by Susan Marie Davniero

SNOWFLAKES PLACE

Winter’s gift

Floating adrift

Snowflakes flight

No two alike

Winter time

Supreme design

Clouds snowflakes fall 

If flakes come at all

Winter’s beauty

Crystal symmetry

Snowflakes around

Kissing the ground

Winter’s fall from grace

Pardon snowflakes place

An ice beauty before

Melts into nothing more

He's Got the Whole Whole in His Hands

(Daily News)

Keep the faith - the weather is in God's hands. After all, He's Got the Whole Whole in His Hands

The dark days of this winter weather grief lead me to turn to the pages of “The Book of Job (Bible)” to find the light for reason and to console. "Where light dwelleth…”

Addressing the theme of God’s justice in the face of suffering we must keep the faith. There is a reason for His plan. Help is on the way. After all, remember He's Got the Whole Whole in His Hands

Past the windy sweeping blows by blankets of drifting snow - will come a new day to bring the first day of spring! And suddenly it’s spring!

- Susan and Robert Davniero

WINTER’S FLEEING

Winter with us yet

Lest we not forget

Whirlwinds curl

Brooding unfurl

Lies cold and low

Decaying leaves blow

Out of cold’s harm

Seeking to be warm

Invited by weather

We huddle together

Breath of being

To winter’s fleeing

WINTER’S ENCORE

Winter’s encore

The winds roar

Calling the pain

It’s winter again

Storms throw

Bed of snow

Bursts of chill

Of coming ill

No escape in sight

To pass the plight

Beats a cold heart

Until winter parts

Hurricane Sandy Of 2012

by Susan Marie Davniero

Announced by the forecasters Arrives Hurricane Sandy’s disaster Driven by the rising tides Trembling water bursts rides Thrusting upon the land and shore Knocking pounds at the doors Where neighboring people dwell Their stumbling houses fell Faulted by the turbulence Ensue with awaken sense To rise from the recovery we face Tomorrow shall find its place

OCTOBER DAYS

Published The Eclectic Muse Poetry

October days grow duller

In search of earthy color

Patchwork cloak of leaves

Fallen from stripped trees

Orange, yellow, gold

Dress the season bold

Sunlight dimming down

Barren grass browns

Trails on nature’s path

Creeps in winter’s wrath

 WELCOME AUTUMN DAWN

Published:  Great South Bay Magazine 

Welcome autumn’s dawn
Crisp sunny morn
Harvest bounty call
Fruitful gifts of fall
By way of park’s trails
Nature’s foliage prevails
Paints colors on trees
Blowing in the breeze
Acorns slip on the ground
Cooling fall abound
Ripe auburn shades
As the warmth fades
Amber spice blend
Flavors of fall again
Autumn days mellow
Comes winter tomorrow

SQUIRREL AT MY WINDOW

by Susan Marie Davniero

Welcome sweet morning 

Squirrel waits adorning 

Scattered at will 

Nuts on windowsill 

Pounced from railing 

Upon paths trailing 

Burying the nuts 

For winter huts 

Breath of autumn blow 

Squirrel at my window

A Lovely Day In June

by Susan Marie Davniero

June Issue

As morning comes awake There’s a fluttering by the lake Dancing beneath the skies A host of blue birds flies Shades of flowers bloom seen By a blush of meadows green Nature sings a summer’s tune For this lovely day in June

SEAGULLS BY THE BAY

by Susan Marie Davniero

Visit Long Island dock

Where seagulls flock
I ponder and mull
Home of the Seagull
Behold the sight
Seagulls take flight
To soar from within
Adrift with the wind
The seagulls race
Call out their place
Navigate and glide
Alive in the sky

Wings span

Like a white fan

All kinds of weather
Birds of a feather

Day or night

Scavengers in flight
Seagulls come near
Perch on the pier
I lay bits of bread
Seagulls are fed
Calm waters today
Seagulls by the bay
