I was reading some old facebook posts of friends and one line in a post caught my eye. My friend had written in early November about a trip to Old Man's Cave in Ohio - a popular place to visit. He wrote that he was thinking of going back "when fall is frozen over." So, I wrote the following poem.
When fall is frozen over (2017) When fall is frozen over and The moon is slivered shut When the tree is trimmed and ready To gather presents underfoot It's then I like to sit with you In silence by the hearth And reminisce about old friends From whom we are apart No visit from St. Nicholas Or carol sung on high Can warm my heart as surely as Your words from time gone by "It always snows for Christmas" Still I laugh and don't believe, but Fall is frozen over and The moon is slivered shut |
