"Two sides of winter" or "I don't miss it" (catch-up for Mon & Tues, Dec 5 & 6)

Sparkly glitter frost,
Icicle stalactites drip,
Marshmallow snow fluff.

Razors bite fingers,
Nose feels vanished off of face,
Winter walls close in.

Nerd Lust (catch-up for Sat & Sun, Dec 3 & 4)

Chant "No dork, no deal,"
It's more than just a mantra;
A true way of life.

Hot nerds with glasses
Crack brainy jokes.  Tech world proves
I'm easy to please.

Quitter (catch-up for Thurs & Fri, Dec 1 & 2 )

Contemplating change.
Feeling like such a quitter
Leaving behind goals,

Highways for dirt roads.
Could imperfection be best,
Peace in the jungle?

Dallying (catch-up for Tues & Wed, Nov 29 & 30)

Feel guilt setting in,
As writing lies neglected,
A lover untouched.

Muses, leave me not;
I may dally away, but
I will yet be true.

"Free" Hours (catch-up for Mon, Nov 28)

Easy to put off,
However, what must be done
Only haunts "free" hours.

Manipulative Love (catch-up for Sun, Nov 27)

Snap, crackle, and pop.
Love for the chiropractor,
Healthy devotion.

Musings on the Crash (catch-up for Wed, Nov 23-Sat, Nov. 26)

Wing-ed robes protect
As rubber burns the pavement
And metal collides.

Walking nightmares haunt
The hours passing on four wheels.
Fear flash-floods. Shiver.

Memory tirades,
Mind tricks, Fear Anthem parades
Past before my eyes.

Value of life, love,
Reassessed, escaping death.
Treasure life renewed.
