tiny snow angel
snowflakes kiss your rosy cheeks
white winter beauty
snowflakes kiss your rosy cheeks
white winter beauty
Dandelions float
On summer's ponds like bodies
Float on winter's lakes
On summer's ponds like bodies
Float on winter's lakes
Winter's frozen kiss
Icy crystalline fingers
Silent night descends
Icy crystalline fingers
Silent night descends
Icy village pond
Bundled skaters weave designs
Hands hug warm cocoa
Bundled skaters weave designs
Hands hug warm cocoa
Alfalfa buds bloom
Purple in the morning sun
Winter arrives soon
Purple in the morning sun
Winter arrives soon
And then the leaves Fell
ice carpets pale on the road
Silent flakes, time still
ice carpets pale on the road
Silent flakes, time still
your eyes fill with tears
let me go winter daughter
to my Moon River
let me go winter daughter
to my Moon River
Sitting by windows
Breathing out air making fog
Winter is coming
Breathing out air making fog
Winter is coming
autumn horizon
the falling rain, scatter of
leaves on the frost soil
the falling rain, scatter of
leaves on the frost soil
A single snowflake
Drops down from the Mountaintop
Landing unspoken
Drops down from the Mountaintop
Landing unspoken
Crocus peeking out
purple, snow lined beds dark brown
rich with Spring's promise
purple, snow lined beds dark brown
rich with Spring's promise
Beneath winter sun
I sit chin in hand to wait
For life to begin
I sit chin in hand to wait
For life to begin
cascading snowflakes
a flutter of notes ripple
across the keyboard
a flutter of notes ripple
across the keyboard
Moving against time
From spring into the cold snow
Landing, clicks, belts off
From spring into the cold snow
Landing, clicks, belts off
showing only thorns
through patches of silent snow
dreaming of a bloom
through patches of silent snow
dreaming of a bloom
full yucca moon ghosts
starving black basalt river
thin rapids bleed snow
starving black basalt river
thin rapids bleed snow
softly falling snow
my breath, warm and visible
white puffs in the air
my breath, warm and visible
white puffs in the air
Ominously cold.
Snow beating endlessly down.
Bonding inside, safe.
Snow beating endlessly down.
Bonding inside, safe.
cool autumn ended
winter apologizes
with spring recompense
winter apologizes
with spring recompense
chunks of blue ice drift
into the harbor bearing
an unsteady moose
into the harbor bearing
an unsteady moose
Snow flurries, North End
pizzeria signs glowing,
showering rubies.
pizzeria signs glowing,
showering rubies.
Three river city-
Pittsburgh, winter wind searches
through empty buildings.
Pittsburgh, winter wind searches
through empty buildings.
A single snow flake
The desert's eager tongue waits
Too little, too late
The desert's eager tongue waits
Too little, too late
fading sapphire sky
ice bright stars melt into dawn
night awaits its turn
ice bright stars melt into dawn
night awaits its turn
Equine hooves rattle
over semi-frozen track,
but still the boy floats.
over semi-frozen track,
but still the boy floats.
frazil ice forming
the river rushes downstream
outrunning winter
the river rushes downstream
outrunning winter
before the stone bench
where you whispered winter words
white iris stand mute
where you whispered winter words
white iris stand mute
Beneath icy chill
Awaits the breath of springtime
Patient daffodil
Awaits the breath of springtime
Patient daffodil
in driest winter
lone chorus frog's sudden song --
your voice echoing
lone chorus frog's sudden song --
your voice echoing
frozen lake melting
a flock of ducks steps into
the sun's reflection
a flock of ducks steps into
the sun's reflection
ice clings to the banks
yielding to the warming rays
fish shacks melt away
yielding to the warming rays
fish shacks melt away
Snow softly falling
Glowing white, silent on this
Cold winter evening.
Glowing white, silent on this
Cold winter evening.
the deep winter sky?
brushed by bare maple branches
still, even in wind
brushed by bare maple branches
still, even in wind
the winter sunset
swims in a warm blue ocean
life left on the beach
swims in a warm blue ocean
life left on the beach
spring lasted three days
chill winds blew--first rain then snow
winter's last revenge
chill winds blew--first rain then snow
winter's last revenge
