Even the tallest thought leans,
weighted by an unseen foible.

The greeter at the local store
Made shopping there less of a chore
Funny little wave meant to charm
Personal foible to disarm
Kids particularly looked ahead
For a taste of yummy sweetbread

Poem: New Beginnings shallow carpet of snow belying blustery hegemony nascent incipient Spring its foibles stirring below dreams a new beginning paired with a photo of a light dusting of snow covering the hills of the Karoo in early Winter 2024. Artwork for contemplation only; a low-res copy of the original, unsuitable for commercial use, ©owner This image ©ilinkcs (2025/12) here's what I'm thinking what’s my mind is Seasons how each season has its purpose that built into any season there is the nascent dormant underpinnings of the coming season. Winter's snow might cover the ground whipping winds frozen rivers and lakes while below the ground seeds encapsulated in nature's armor seeded for Spring In the Winter of our lives when things feel the hardest when we're dying on that hill the seeds of a nascent Spring are right there down in us waiting for the seasons to turn In summer be ready for Winter in Winter be ready for Spring that's what's on my mind in the moment.

Winter’s blustery protests
belies its weakening strength
Gaia’s dreams are turning
to a nascent stirring Spring

The nascent quest for hegemony
Wrenches the stomachs of so many
Orders of those blustery buffoons
Carried out by simple, shallow goons
Incipient rumblings of masses
Seeing foibles of these jackasses
