"Blue-white afternoon. The Bow river churns and smokes". "Walking with Walt Whitman Through Calgary's Eastside on a Winter Day"

Bitter sweet poem of the present age and thoughts not acted upon and life goes on.
"Come, ho! sing, ho! ye chimney sprites," - Mary Mapes Dodge; A Song Of Saint Nicholas... https://www.litscape.com/author/Mary..._Nicholas.html
Charming St. Nicholas poem!
"Beneath the softly falling snow"."The Changing Road" by Katharine Lee Bates

An enchanting poem... "The river will be locked in hush / But frosted like a fairy lawn / With knots of crystal flowers that flush / By moonlight, blanching in the dawn."... :)
"Come, Summer, come, nor in the south delay;" - W. M. MacKeracher; Invocation To Summer... https://www.yourdailypoem.com/listpoem.jsp?poem_id=2602
"Invocation To Summer..." Very opportune poem by the high "Spring" temperatures we are having here. if I were a solid poet I would write its complement: "Go, Summer go, not in the south delay;"

"Facing west, from California's shores"."Facing west, from California's shores" by Walt Whitman
From public domain Some problem with copying the link.
“Facing west, from California's shores” - Facing West From California's Shores by Walt Whitman https://whitmanarchive.org/published/LG/1891/poems/43 - " Facing west from California's shores, / Inquiring, tireless, seeking what is yet unfound, / I, a child, very old, over waves, towards the house of maternity, / the land of migrations, look afar," :) :) :)

re:Thanks for the link on “Facing west, from California's shores”. Copy/paste on tablet with the finger sometimes doesn't work.
Thank you so much for the poem and bio on Mechthild von Magdeburg :):) :).It´s one of your great finds. Lapidar simplicity and one the same time she writes like someone who has a direct communication channel to God, which she had. I looked for the poem in German, but didn´t find this particular one. It shows again how most German women authors were ignored, some until the 20C.

Lol dialectic poem :)
"I am a miner. The light burns blue." - Sylvia Plath; Nick and the Candlestick... https://www.mahmag.org/english/world...php?itemid=409
Nick and the Candlestick. Powerful images. Found this helpful analysis:https://www.belrosetutoring.com/hsc-...he-candlestick.
"Jes' a little bit o' feller - I remember still -".Who Santy-Claus Wuz by James Whitcomb Riley
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...laus-wuz-29437
Enjoyed the analysis :)
Now this dialect poem was difficult for me, evidentially by design -
a poem by the "Hoosier Poet": "Who Santy-Claus Wuz" is one of Riley's “low readability” poems per a paper "The Difficulty of Dialect Poetry"...

"Kind friend, you do not know how much" - Hattie Howard; The Little Clock... https://allpoetry.com/poem/8614483-T...-Hattie-Howard
Oh sorry, didn´t want to choose a difficult poem, specially not at this time of year when the head is occupied with other things. What happens with me is that today because of poems and all I am more used to reading English dialect than even German (original poems from Mechthild from Magdeburg are in medieval German- beautiful but difficult to understand)Love Planted A Rose
by Katharine Lee Bates and I liked the general idea of the poem. Your ingenious defense is accepted and going to be read after Christmas.
Loved "The Little Clock.."
"Ah, well! the little clock has proved
The best of all bonanzas;
And thus my happy heart is moved
To these effusive stanzas."
"Love planted a rose,". "Love Planted A Rose" by Katharine Lee Bates

A merry Christmas party for you and your family!
Thank you so much, and to you and yours :)
