The Winter's Harvest Oath Broken by The Poor
A dark poem depicts Winter as a harsh ruler marching through pines and streets. It condemns wealth and warm halls while praising charity to the poor, urging compassion as a sacred duty and warning that winter’s frost punishes the selfish. The piece contrasts cheerful fires with beggars and asks readers to share their abundance.
Home and Love in the Heart of Home

It recalls Jesus’ command to love one another and muses on aging, memory, and the enduring bonds of family and friends around the fireside. The piece emphasizes love as the heart of home and warns without love the house is empty.
