Coldest, shortest day
bright log fire conquers darkness
festive sun rebirths

‘Tis the Season
Red faced carolers quaff
eggnog joyfully outdoors
angels on high grin
Chattering
Icebox season of
Siberian frosty breath,
gelid words glissade
Sudden Storm
Change of season arrives
a startling revelation of nature’s own agenda
It arrives brisk and certain
unconcerned about the day’s forecast
or what the calendar says
Wet flurries settle sloppily
on unsuspecting pedestrians
white halos embracing hair
Bare feet peek out of open toed shoes
shivering at what they see
not quite ready for dark scratchy wool and boots
Sleet and snow climb lazily
onto any exposed surface
lingering in a detached manner
before slowly melting
Knowing soon
temperatures will dictate a grip
that cannot be so easily loosened
Summer Snowstorm
Majestic old growth
when storm passes, leaf litter
snowman camouflaged
