reprieved from freezing
a sun warmed soup
of autumn’s leaves
From Above
How Winter Looks back
flakes freezing
as they fall
winter’s long goodbye
Freezing Falls
still rushing
as the surface solidifies
The River Free
the river desires movement
and uses all its wiles
to dodge stillness
Obeisance
in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies
Withstanding
despite
a freezing night
still she blooms
Efforts of Ice
sedulous winter
tries again and again
to make the cold hold
Metamorphosis
The freezing pond
becomes a verdant marble.
Raft of Ducks
They venture forth
for a final swim
before the river freezes them out.
