A snowy night at home in middle Tennessee. March 7th 2008

We got some significant snowage...

So I had to hum some music from the Lieutenant Kije Suite by Prokofiev

A little TX snow

We had a bit of snow on Tuesday night and during the day Wednesday.

That is our car stuck in the entrance to the co-op, way across the parking lot. Every time the truck backs up, that is our car behind   more...it. The neighbours finally helped Mom get it unstuck.

As I am laid up after falling on the front stairs, I can only hang out at the window and watch. My version of "Rear Window", minus a murder and without much in the way of actual suspense.

We are supposed to have a "big snow storm" tonight and tomorrow.  less

I had a very enlightening conversation with a little girl in front of the aquarium at my chiropractor's office. Bonus footage of the snowy city streets.

The Barbie came up because the office has a Christmas   more...tree right beside the fish tank where they collect presents for the Christmas Exchange. She was as interested in the presents as she was in the fish.

My chiropractor is the official chiropractor for the Ottawa Senators hockey team. Go Sens!  less

Snow is fun to flip in.

This was my trip to the grocery store in yesterday's snow storm.

Adorable little St. Bernard plays in the snow.

A tromp through the woods behind our house on a snowy evening...

I know this vid doesn't quite match the visuals the poem may inspire. I only hope it doesn't interfere. It serves as a visual back-drop   more...to this poem I wrote about 11 years ago.

Showcasing my poetry is new to me on YouTube. So is everything on YT actually. Even though I have been on here well over a year, I have only been making videos 2 months. So I tried sitting and reading the poem to the camera. Booooor-ing! I just stared at the paper, read it and never looked up. So I did a compilation of photos for the last poem video, Mists of Heather. That sort of worked, but now on to this one.

I wrote this poem in about 5 minutes upon waking from a dream. I grabbed pen and paper by my nightstand and wrote it down exactly like you see below. Never changed a thing. Let me know what you think. And, if you have ideas for better ways to showcase poetry, let me know. I need a new computer with an upgraded operating system before I get too fancy with the vids. But, I long for the day I can be more creative and use my new camcorder!

Maybe these poems will be revisited then.

Oh, I zoom in on a beaver lodge on the far side of the pond. But it just looks like a snow-covered lump!


The Box

The prince removed, from a shelf on the wall
A carved ivory box, barely 5 inches tall
He studied the work, traced each line with his hand
Felt that the workmanship, was unknown to man

The corners were golden, trimmed with the sun
Each hinge was a masterpiece, second to none
But in spite of the hinges, the clasp and the pin
It baffled the prince, which way to get in

For days, many months, he struggled and tried
To open it up, to see what's inside
But the box, it eluded, the answer lay hid
In mindless determination, he tried the small lid

It never occurred that he use any tool
Somehow he knew, like some unwritten rule
That his hands and his heart would open the prize
He'd researched and asked, the old and the wise

Many had told him to set the box down
To handle it not, or to sell it in town
To pack it away, let it gather much dust
Forget silly notions, ignore them, he must

A plan was devised, to help the prince sleep
The small box was stolen, and buried quite deep
In the moss covered garden, near a wall of decay
The priests of the castle, hid it safely away

When it's absence was noticed next morn, by the prince
He refused to eat, take no sustenance
The wise men were baffled, their plan had back-fired
The once handsome prince, now grew haggard and tired

Many days passed, and he seemed to go mad
Wandered the gardens, empty and sad
Till one day a shy child, of the gardener's wife
Took the hand of the prince, and saved the man's life

She had seen the priests, watched where they'd hid
The small ivory box, with the unyielding lid
Together they dug, his soul barely living
The child gave him strength; she was loving and giving

Nestled in linen, he found it that day
Pulled it up from the grave, and wept in dismay
For the gold had all tarnished, from days of neglect
The ivory was muddied, close on inspect

The clasp seemed broken, even though he tried
It still wouldn't give way, its secret safe inside
Tears flowed from his eyes, as he looked at the child
She wiped them away, and tenderly smiled

"My prince your tears will open the box"
She spoke as she wiped them at once on the lock
Quite effortlessly, as a feather in wind
The stubborn box opened, no contents within

At least none that was seen when you looked inside
But the prince's eyes widened, saw the face of his bride
And several small children, his parents, and others
The soft, tender faces of sisters, and brothers

For you see many years of politics and war
Made this gentle man harden, emotions a chore
Daily his duties had enveloped his life
Till no feelings were there, not for children, or wife

Then the box had appeared on the shelf in the hall
Held  less

Memories of our trip to Thredbo for the Snowy Ride weekend of the 10-11-07

I recorded the snow last week with my digicam, so the quality is bad. But I wanted to capture this Winter and it's snow. It's been a very special time.

The song is again by the Beastie Boys. The song   more...is titled "Sure Shot" and was released on their "Ill Communication" album. You should buy it, it's very delicious! It is the same album that has the songs "Sabotage" and "Root Down". I always play the Beastie Boys when I'm happy. They're never depressing or sad. I likes that.

Love, Krista and Keats.  less

A drive around the frozen lake....

The first episode to kick off the PRANK'D series. Yeah, this was before I even thought of the idea for PRANK'D. So I guess the true pioneers of PRANK'D are Chip and Tom. Yeah, go figure!

More snow in London = more frolicking fun for Kazzart! This time my footage also features a few folks in my neighbourhood, one Kwai Chi, one snow angel and one Snow Kazzart! :D
