Winter Scene by BJ Neblett

Hard to believe 2014 is about over, winter is here. I will be celebrating my Christmas Eve birthday with friends and fellow softballers at an annual get together to benefit orphans at Conor Byrne Pub in Ballard. Everyone is invited for a fun pot luck starting at 5 PM. And here's wishing everyone a blessed and happy holiday season.
Keep watch for more stories on my author's blog, and a very special month long continuing blog on love and romance, right here the month of February. In the mean time, here's a new poem to celebrate the new season.
Peace and love.

Winter Scene

Crystalline flakes dance in the wind outside

Frozen avenues mock the lamenting sun

Fleet footed snowmen assemble to play

Bundled warriors in the snow and sun

Apple cheeked invaders that laugh and play

Through my window the war rages outside

For children snow is to dream and to play

Matterhorn’s for conquering in the sun

Laughter is the sugar of life outside

To play in the sun and snow outside is

To be a child and laugh again

Autumn Scene by BJ Neblett

It's been a while. I want to thank all for the concern and well wishes while my face repairs itself. Still some swelling and pain but all is going well! I am looking forward to getting back on the mound next season! In the mean time a bit of housecleaning and updating. You can now access all of my stories in Romance and eFiction magazines as well as my books by clicking the picture to the right. They are also available at Barnes & Noble. For those without Kindles or Nooks, they are available through the publisher at fictionmagazines.com.
Also, just in time for Halloween, I have posted one of my most popular and scary horror stories, Satan's Blood to my author blog for a free read. Just click the link to the right and enjoy. I suggest with the lights on!
Finally, here is a recent poem to get you into the season. Enjoy, and be sure to link, like, comment and share the love.

October enters wearing a jacket

Knit tasseled cap and rosy freckled cheeks

With harvests of plenty farmers delight

World Series, State Fairs and pumpkin delights

Hunter’s moon simpers down with gibbous cheeks

Aquilo’s sharp breath toys at your jacket

Candied trick or treats, children’s apple cheeks

Grid iron reunions, Thanksgiving delights

Homecoming Queen in letterman’s jacket

Frosty cheeks glow

Windswept leaves delight in a final dance

Before the sullen earth is shrouded

Beneath an ivoty jacket
