Is that rain or is it snow?
The weather out there doesn’t know.
But it’s coming quickly through the air,
so I won’t be going anywhere.

Winter solstice,
mist cloaked,
evokes kisses.

poem-cold November 30, 2014
Ice blue skies
white ground
I see the breath
of passers by.
Today I’ll hide
warmly dressed
snuggling next to you
by the fire, inside.
poem- winter sounds November 26, 2014
The
rasping
scraping
roaring
splattering
of the snow plow
going past,
wakes me rudely
to awareness of
winter’s arrival,
as I slept.
poem- creek June 19, 2014
From the bridge
I look down
upon the frozen creek
and see a red mitten
bobbing under the ice.
poem- crap! March 27, 2014
T’is the season
snow is melting
that’s the reason
things are smelling
Get the shovel
bag all the crap
shoulder muscles
ache while it splats
into the bag
Excrement is
winter’s last joke:
dog- doo dizzy
I want to choke!
.
Home from vacation and duty calls! Yuck. The back yard melt reveals a lot of mess. Gross.
poem- spring? March 15, 2014
Last night
I fell asleep planning
an ensemble:
beige, flowing garments
open shoes
bare skin, no socks.
Spring is here!
Celebrate!
I awoke
to see snowflakes filling the sky
giant two inch diameter
behemoth flakes
mocking my dreams of spring.
Wardrobe re-think.
Boots today.
Again.
Still.
.
poem- march away! March 5, 2014
Winter
marching
heavily through spring.
Winter
march
away,
and take
all this falling snow
with you.
.
.
Heavy snow today, making the highway treacherous. Fun drive to work. We’re ready for less white and more warmth in the air!
poem- snow falling March 2, 2014
Snow falling
a white world
Pure motives
clean character
Love calling
to warm bed
longing
laughing
falling.
.

(This is my 1300th blog post! Hurrah!)
poem- Sochi shivers February 18, 2014
Snow falling outside the window
Snow falling on the venues at Sochi
While I watch winter,
I dream of hot water:
Olympic bath time.
(They don’t offer a medal for shivering
and that’s my best winter activity).
