poetry competition

I remember the first time
The day that we met.
When I came to your clearing,
Oh dear, was I wet!

With your arms so inviting
I nestled in them.
All that rain became pretty -
A bond was forged then.

I remember times after,
The years while I grew,
The hours of laughing
Spent playing with you.

Not a care in the whole world,
A wonderful time.
I was glad that I'd met you
Such joy was then mine.

A colour dear to me

A snifter made of sturdy glass, as clear as autumn morn
I hold it gently in me hand, although me thoughts are torn
For dark and cold are nearer now, the light is fading fast
And while I still have things to do, I think about the past

Yuletide Cheer

The snow is falling,
The wind is calling.

I was a little bit confused at Miss Jadite's last competition in Summer, I thought we had to present a riddle. So I sat all night, at the inn, thinking hard. But see for yourself:

A rabbit's life is filled with glee,
We hop about on meadows free.
We nibble from the clover patch
I do declare, our life is such
That were I free to choose my fate
No thought I need for it to make:
A rabbit I will ever be!
You seem in doubt. But bear with me
And I will tell of our ways.
So hear how I spend all my days.

I wake at dawn just with the sun,
I stretch and sniff, my day's begun.
I leave my home, at forest's edge,
And take a stroll to a near ledge.

When sun and sky shine bright and fair,
When birds are singing in the air,
When spring rains washed away the dust,
Who wants to sit at home and rust?

The meadows dressed in colours gay,
The winds tell tales from far away,
Whenever springtime comes around,
Out on the roads is where I'm found!

The wanderlust comes over me,
I can't be bound, I must be free!
And off I set on the old track,
I don't delay, I don't look back.
