I took some photographs of our backyard garden and wrote three poems for the cold snow days of the winter season last year. I think it is suitable for the snow day yesterday, Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I hope you enjoy viewing them.
My Snow Garden
Snow on the Garden Chair
Snow on the chair
No one sitting there
Quiet time
Blanket of snow
Covers the ground
Time to sleep
Let snow drip
To earth
Time to rest
Drops of snow
Keep me alive
Show my beauty
After a quiet rest
I will be fresh
In spring
Someone sitting
On the empty chair
Greeting me
In spring
Snow drops
Snow drips
Giving me life
In a quiet time

My Snow Garden
At the window beyond the bars
I peak at my garden producing snow trees
Pure white from the sky
Snow keeps my plants alive till spring
Shivering chill outside
My plants retire underground
Mother earth warming
Protecting the roots from freezing cold
Thanks to the snow that turns to water under the soil
There is a way for life to survive
When cold winter comes

Appreciate simple things around you
Minimize luxury life styles
Be more concerned with conservation
Be generous and kind
Remove ill thought
Broaden your knowledge
Learn and do your best
Understand things beyond yourself
If you are still dissatisfied
Then sleep and after your rest
Try again the next day
