Winter in the Mountains
A Poem from A Poetic Journey Through the Seasons by Kelly Mathewson
Winter in the mountains, oh so grand
A blanket of white covers the land
Snowflakes gently falling from the sky
A sight so serene, it makes me sigh
Tall pines stand tall, dressed in white
A peaceful stillness fills the night
The air is crisp and oh so cold
But the beauty of this scene never grows old
In the distance, a pack of wolves howl
Their haunting melody fills my soul
As I stand here, admiring the view
I am filled with a sense of wonder, it's true
Winter in the mountains, a true delight
A time for peace, a time for flight
I am grateful for this moment in time
And the love that fills my heart, so sublime.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
