Moments of Winter

The winter wind blew cold against the oncoming spring. It's chill grip would not be loosened by budding flowers, chirping birds, or twitterpated fools.
No, winter was not over, and wouldn't let go without a fight.
The world needed at least one more snowstorm before allergy season took hold.
One more snow day.
One more night of sitting around the fire with a mug of hot cocoa.
Just a few more moments of winter, then spring could intrude upon the world.

Snippet of Night

A bird sings softly through the night, while fireflies dance with their own light.

The Quest

The quest was a long one. Across many lands the band traveled, searching carefully for the treasures they sought.
Some were gained at great cost. Others gathered slowly from the jungle depths. A few were only obtained after a grueling series of trades.
But finally, the band had gathered every treasure. They took them to the master of recipes, pleading for her to use her skills.
Taking their treasures, the master of recipes vanished into her domain, and the band waited.
They waited through the strange sounds, and through the waves of heat and the alluring smells.
It felt as though they had waited forever.
Finally, the master of recipes emerged, arms laden with the precious result of their treasure hunt.
Chocolate cake.
The band eagerly feasted on the delicacy, savoring the complex flavors and moist texture. It was like nothing they'd ever eaten, and well worth their questing.

Difficult to Ignore

When a cat wants cuddles, he can be difficult to ignore.
When a dog wants to play, his sorrowful eyes will make you feel horrible if you refuse.
A fish doesn't care too much, so long as you remember what time he is fed.
And a bird will chatter away any thoughts you might have had to ignore her.
All of these creatures are safe to slightly ignore, but there is one critter whom you should never ignore.
For on her best day, she is irritable, short tempered, and hungry. While on her worst days, she is irritated, enraged, and ravenous.
Should you ignore her, you might get your socks singed. Or she could decide you'd be a nice smoked snack.
For one may ignore a cat, dog, fish, or bird.
But one may never ignore a dragon, for they are vain, fire-breathing creatures, while you are merely a future snack or snack bringer.
So think carefully of which you'd rather be.
