A Christmas Poem 2018
Christmas is coming and my thoughts to Scrooge stray.He's a much maligned fellow whom we should praise to-day.I see that you doubt me, but don't turn away.
Did he waste? Not a shilling, not a penny nor pence.And with fuel he was frugal - no heat up...
John W. Bowser, more about an Auroran linked to the Empire State Building. I thought perhaps it was time to return to some of the places in Aurora I had not visited in a while. It is hard to believe that almost seven years passed by since my last...
Perhaps the inspiration to blog more again is emerging from having enough memories to share about the changes I have witnessed in Aurora from the year I actually started to live in Aurora, 2008. I moved to Aurora in 1997 but I must admit that back then I spent...
Christmas Eve Past by Elizabeth Hearn Milner
I remember Christmas eve with snow and the glow of my parent’s house.I remember skiing the golf course hills and the thrills as the red sun set.I can feel again the chilly air as I stare ahead at my swift, strong, big...

Christmas
Down the sweeping stretch of time it comesthrough eons of water, ice and fire.Scraped earth is sifted, covered with rubble and swamp,then prairie grasses, bold flowers and towering treesthat stand as majestic and mighty as gods.Tiny creatures, that crawl in the coming fecund earth,are replaced by mastodons and other...
The Ice Man
Soft air, wine sweet with heady, floral scent,slippery seeds of watermelon season,sidewalks fry-an-egg sizzling hot,and then came the ice wagon.
Mr. Case, on his high seat,coming down Kennedy Streetover the hot, chewable-soft tar,wearing his deer skin apron.With huge ice tongs and leather carrier,he shoulders into my mother’s kitchenhis...
