frost’s filigree
elaborates
the arctic morning
Behold
angel’s wings
invisible vistors
seen
Hens and Chicks
their
feather edges
serrated with frost
Jack Frost Morning
feathered
with cold
the world obscured
Pursuit
stalking fish
warrior feathers
on ruffled heron
Soar
held aloft
by nothing but
deep belief in freedom
Fare Thee Well
feathered ones know
winter says goodbye
in snow
Communion
gentle look
from a wild friend
all otherness expunged
Dizzy
upside down
spinning round and round
the downey has his fill
Portend
the weather
dreamed of spring
in water eggs and feather ice
Like to Like
soft as snow
feathered reeds
where winter will rest
Preen
gloat worthy primping
much more than being clean
this attention to attractiveness
Display
every feather tremors
in his exquisite dance
that drives off extinction
Portrait of a Bohemian
declaring status
expressing power
identity construction
In The Interval
the birch
wears feathers
while waiting for leaves
Courtship
frost feathers the window
even the cold romances spring
Flight
tail feathers
dipped in sunshine
rising on the updraft of spring
Cold Gold
moon dust and magic
feather the window
in fairies’ cold gold
Black Capped
songbird on
the seed bell
dee dee dee
chickadee
Feathered Nest
tossed by the wind
the feathered nest
made of moss and hope
will be built again
Feathers
Under the spell of spring
even trees seems to feather out.
Nature’s Desire
Grass blades grow frost feathers.
Every molecule demanding that their place in the design be realized.
Nature’s desire is to manifest gloriousness.
