Winter comes in subtle mode

Frozen sundown time

Winter comes in subtle mode,
We see the frost,we read the code.
bright sun deceives our shuttered eyes
Then very soon darkness arrives.
The leaves so red have blown away
We see an early winter day.
The sky was cloudless hence the frost,
The leaves were by wet earth engrossed.
The light swam sideways through the air.
Patterned branches now lay bare.
I saw a robin shadowing me.
What more joy in life could be?
The boldness of this tiny thing
Spurred on my weary heart to sing.
Each day I gather beads of joy.
Each one pure gold and not alloy.
I weave from them a  gay necklace.
And thus I decorate my dress.
Winter,winter,singing near
Let your frost and fog appear.
Let me see your holly berries
Quite as bright as summer flower

Holy honey

St Jerome kept bees
 and when he pinched their honey
 The monastery was pleased
 for honey made good money.

He also made a jam
 From gooseberries and pears.
 This daring recipe
 Is popular with bears.

He could make marmalade too
 From grapefruit and from honey dew
 Melons.
 This was very strange
 As no-one showed him how;
 No lessons.

So saints can make good cooks;
 Maybe their food is blessed.
 I’m not yet a saint
 But I can cook your Feast.

But logic is no good
 For loving human beings.
 We need the drink divine
 to aid us in our seeings.

Logic is no use
 In understanding pain.
 But it helps to pass the time
 Until love calls us again.

Su doku looks quite hard
 And it took me ages to get right.
 But even algebraic topology
 Is not as hard aslife
