the sun’s warming glow
breaks through darkness
and into the cold of woods
Hearing The Unsaid
the silence
of cold and snow
told us what we needed to know
Railroad
black tracks
cutting through the cold
heading home
Goldenrod Gone By
in the cold
old blooms
imitate snow
Red Canoes Huddle In The Protection Of The Pines
as cold gathers
at the marsh’s edge
and starts to fill the sky
The Old Dame’s Rock Wall
huddled together
against the cold
warm in company
Intaglio
designed
by tree lines
landscape etched by cold
Owl In Blue
sharp cold
ruffling feathers
and solitary thoughts
Window Feathers
cold
goose down’s
over the view
Time’s Sculpture
every edge
sharpened by cold
carving it’s shape into air
Unlocked
through
cold’s keyhole
the day accessed
Synchronicity
crabapple chorus line
long legged high kicks
costumed in snow and cold
Cold November Night
winter’s dusk
descends
the landscape shivers
Until Next Year
grass waves goodbye
to the deep blue
of the cold sky
Spinning
the geranium’s
color wheel
spun by cold
Obeisance
in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies
Feats of Beauty
despite
cold facts
a bloom
Cold Bur
frost still fills
the space we’ve saved
for the warming sun
Cosmos of Cold
galaxy
of sparkling gold
stars gather on the window
January Missive
the mail box
holds another
delivery of cold
Eyelet River
lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore
In Deference To Illumination
touched by light
so turned to gold
alchemy of cold
Secrets
winter gathers
at the pond’s edge
hiding cold amongst the reeds
The Brook
still running
before cold takes hold
and water stills
Jack Frost Morning
feathered
with cold
the world obscured
Cold Bloom
outside an arctic cold
warmed by the hot pink
of a houseplant’s bloom
Iceland
February grew
trees of ice
a forest of cold
Bittersweet
in iced sunlight
brightness sweetens
the bitter cold
River Frosted Pine
river cold
reaches up
frosting from below
Morning Moon
diamond edged air
cuts like a knife
morning moon’s cold light
