Start
Buds in mid-winter /
clutch to tomorrow’s promise /
within today’s cold.

Sunday silliness: “Chocolate cake”
Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your answering machine:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

Clouds and shadows painted /
With tints of winter sunlight. /
Bare limbs full of gray.

pockets its promise.
