feathered wallflowers sit out
blizzard's crazy dance

covered by fresh snow
the kale roots sipping the melt:

Valley lost in cloud,
rain falls steady all morning,

Snow in our courtyard
Waiting by the windowsill
My breaths trace your name.

Summer rain spatter
Unsettled dusky maiden.
Parasol resort.

Bitter autumn wind
Sinks teeth into summer's end.
Leaves visibly flinch.

Snowflakes bustle past my nose?
Winter stomps his feet.

wheat field whispers in the wind
fingertips trace Braille.

I give no grumble
Hearing the thunder and rain
Thankful for this warmth

soft summer breezes
lilies nod so politely
jets roar overhead
