West Wind In Winter

Alice Meynell (1847-1922)

Another day awakes. And who —

Changing the world — is this?

He comes at whiles, the Winter through,

West Wind! I would not miss

His sudden tryst: the long, the new

Surprises of his kiss.

Vigilant, I make haste to close

With him who comes my way.

I go to meet him as he goes;

I know his note, his lay,

His colour and his morning rose;

And I confess his day.

My window waits; at dawn I hark

His call; at morn I meet

His haste around the tossing park

And down the softened street;

The gentler light is his; the dark,

The grey — he turns it sweet.

So too, so too, do I confess

My poet when he sings.

He rushes on my mortal guess

With his immortal things.

I feel, I know him. On I press —

He finds me ’twixt his wings.

Thi s poem is in the public domain

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.

There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If we alert you to it, please remember that we do have phobic peeps who react strongly to them. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.

Holiday Shopping?

We got you covered. Please share with other groups!
