RECIPE FOR A WINTER NIGHT Take 4 well - matched pairs of young peopleg Dress in warm, bright clothingg Add 16 well - sharpened ice skates and tie securely. Turn out on moonlit, frozen pond: Allow to skate freely on pond for one hour, or until slightly blue. Remove ska-tes and transfer couples to nearby house which has O been pre-heated to 72 . Couples will thaw nicely and burst into happy song if filled with cocoa and placed near blazing fireplace.

Dawn sang sweetly with the voice of spring. How very softly it crept enveloping each tree. With the hushed murmur of the past hours, Day broke, reached out, and grasped the earth in ecstacy. FRUSTRATION I thought and I pondered, In deepest despair. Words rushed through my brain, While I tore at my hair. My cheeks flushed with fever I really could have died - No poem could I write But I certainly tried! Ginny Ehrhardt Page Judy Weis SNOW Snow, snow, beautiful snow, It's out of the town to the mountains we go To Whiteface or Bromley Or any high hill - Up the ski tow And down with a thrill. So it's up again down again All the day long, Then to the old Chevy And home with a song. 29 Judy Devine

WIN TER WALK I walk through halls of crystal Roofed by skies of gray I walk on snow white carpets Left by a winter day. For the crystal Halls are made Of trees by ice glassed o'er And a gate with snow bedecked Becomes my palace door. I walk through halls of crystal Roofed by skies of gray -- And never shall the memory fade Left by a winter day. Kathy Henebry MY SYMPHONY Each day I write a symphony. Its rhythmic rhapsody Is written in my daily deeds, With pulsing harmony. A minor mode moans through dull days When I am ill or sad. And skipping major's merry keys, Befriend me when I'm glad. The movements of my symphony, Interpret lyrically Each moment of my daily rounds, In mellow melody. virginia Emnardr NIGHT IN THE FOREST The sun sinks low o'er the mountaing The moon rides over the hill. In the forest, deep shadows are cast, And the fawn drinks its fill Of the cool water of the mountain stream That rushes and tumbles past. The moon rises higher in the sky, And now the forest is still As the golden twilight fades into night And the moon casts her silver light Upon the sylvan hill. It is night -- the forest is still. Anne Mangano WALLY THE WASP Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh, I'm happy as a bee. Bee? Why, why shou1dn'tl beg I be a bee. That's right. My name is Wally, l'm a wasp. I buzz around peoples' heads and dive bomb holly- hocks. It's so much fun. I love to see silly people running around, just because little ole me is around. They shoo me and shun me or at least they try. They don't understand that I wouldn't hurt a fly, well at least I wouldn't hurt them. They don't give me a chance. All I'd like to do is sit in their hair or on their arm. Oh. maybe a stinger or two might slip, now and then, but never on purpose. Won't you please be nice to the next bee you see -- it might be me -- Wally the bee. Ellen O'Connell Page 28
