Winter's Kiss
Rain drops stop as she opens her eyes
all things breathing hush and hide
Starlight paints her through the trees
earth shuns warmth to bear her feet
Wolf cries serenade her path of ice
the winds are still as she passes by
Cold caresses tame the fiercest flames
the sun withdraws to escape her embrace
Grim skies drift keenly against the moon
frost and snow begin an icy bloom
White fog and black clouds give birth to grey mists
the earth parts its hips for winter's kiss
Time is a void that emits no...
all things breathing hush and hide
Starlight paints her through the trees
earth shuns warmth to bear her feet
Wolf cries serenade her path of ice
the winds are still as she passes by
Cold caresses tame the fiercest flames
the sun withdraws to escape her embrace
Grim skies drift keenly against the moon
frost and snow begin an icy bloom
White fog and black clouds give birth to grey mists
the earth parts its hips for winter's kiss
Time is a void that emits no...

Being with Each Other
Late winter
Early spring
The bog
Where we meet
Reading poetry
Drinking wine
Being with each other
Alone with nature
Early spring

Where we meet

Drinking wine

Palpable quiet
Silence blankets the valley by the river
Not a branch in the woods dares to snap
Two feet of snow has silenced the birds
And the howling strays have gone south
A horrific quiet has descended upon us
All through the night there isn't a peep
But the creaking trains, the sway of wind
Not even the river laps the frigid banks
And I look out into the foggy gray sky
From the attic of this broken home
Trying to find the stars that fall
For the little people like me
Not a branch in the woods dares to snap
Two feet of snow has silenced the birds
And the howling strays have gone south
A horrific quiet has descended upon us
All through the night there isn't a peep
But the creaking trains, the sway of wind
Not even the river laps the frigid banks
And I look out into the foggy gray sky
From the attic of this broken home
Trying to find the stars that fall
For the little people like me

Midwinter Blues
Midwinter Blues
My muse is quiet.
Midwinter blues.
Look forward for my wild prose
to thaw.
But I am listening to
my friend Judih’s radio program.
Boozy chanteuse
Optimism blossoms.
Biden president and a rover on Mars.
My muse is quiet.
Midwinter blues.
Look forward for my wild prose
to thaw.
But I am listening to
my friend Judih’s radio program.
Boozy chanteuse
Optimism blossoms.
Biden president and a rover on Mars.

The cruel winter
As I lie awake in the late of night,
the clock ticks and tocks with fright;
and though the bottle becomes dryer,
My spirits have not once fanned higher.
The frigid cold seems to seep in deep,
just like penetrating darkness creeps-
into the body, and all throughout;
into my mind, and there's no way out.
the clock ticks and tocks with fright;
and though the bottle becomes dryer,
My spirits have not once fanned higher.
The frigid cold seems to seep in deep,
just like penetrating darkness creeps-
into the body, and all throughout;
into my mind, and there's no way out.

The Unexpected
The snow has melted at last
The length of the lawn was feared
It needs to be sheared
More than was feared
It mutated under and through the snow
Upwards so tall and wispy
Revealing its glory after all the white and crispy
😁 😂

Winter in Black and White
Cold
Grey
Dank
Goes on and on
Like it best post snow storms
Walking along the river
Watching out for black ice
Less people out
Alone in my thoughts

Frozen
Icy tendrils
Paint a lacy snowflake pattern
On the window
Snowy gray beyond
Sucks the warmth from memories
Of recent summer
The walls themselves
Seem to bleed winter cold,
Chilling the air within
Sunny blue skies
Are vacationing in some tropical paradise
On an unapproved hiatus
Nothing stirs
On this February morn, man or beast
Life - time itself - in frozen hibernation.
Paint a lacy snowflake pattern
On the window
Snowy gray beyond
Sucks the warmth from memories
Of recent summer
The walls themselves
Seem to bleed winter cold,
Chilling the air within
Sunny blue skies
Are vacationing in some tropical paradise
On an unapproved hiatus
Nothing stirs
On this February morn, man or beast
Life - time itself - in frozen hibernation.

Sunrise
On a snowy night 🌙
My mind is thinking about you, Sunrise.
It's been a while since I've seen you.
As I go to bed now,
I have set my alarm to 7:15 am,
So that I can wake up as you rise,
So that I can go outside to see you,
So that I can feel your warmth again!
Oh, Sunrise 🌅

Winter Mourn
steam rises off
fragrant cream with
coffee warming hands
lonely bird forages
beneath gray sky
snowflakes dancing in
air delicate unique
desert dusted with
fluffy white blanket

Dead Leaves
Is there anything more lonely
than dead leaves
blown by a cold January wind
through a grove of barren trees,
piling up at the base
of mossy, faded tombstones
in an old unkempt cemetery –
forgotten in the mists of time
and lost history?

Winter Work
When the morning is spread with silver sheen
Everything covered with the sparkle white
Of frost's thin coat
Trees stand naked and bare
In the shaming winter's cold, cold air
The tiny yard birds come around
Scurrying, searching for seeds
And just inside the wood line
Movement ever so slight,
To barely form the shadowy shape of a deer
Stiff necked. ears erect, eyes wide open
And head on a swivel
Then a calculated step and hold
To look and listen and be still
After a quiet moment, another single step ...
Everything covered with the sparkle white
Of frost's thin coat
Trees stand naked and bare
In the shaming winter's cold, cold air
The tiny yard birds come around
Scurrying, searching for seeds
And just inside the wood line
Movement ever so slight,
To barely form the shadowy shape of a deer
Stiff necked. ears erect, eyes wide open
And head on a swivel
Then a calculated step and hold
To look and listen and be still
After a quiet moment, another single step ...
