new life
hatched and feathered
in sunshine and blue sky
Spring Dream
Reward
brought inside
before the hard frost
a bloom of recompence
Dandelion Ice
old man winter puffs
and ice flies
like dandelion fluff
Visions
miniature world
on the window pane
cold grows a forest
In The Morning
stars
from the holy night
linger
Winter Illustration
cold highlights
the edge
of everything
Dressing For The Season
marigold’s
winter coat
is made of cold
Cows’ Horizon
a final graze
before frost
finishes the field
Petunia In November
turning her face
away from the cold
to shine just one more day
Garden Nymph
as the garden winds down
she keeps watch
for the hard frost
On Cold Nights
the angels
dress the windows
with fleur de liys
Cold Outline
the world
newly illustrated
by frost’s fine lines
Hot Spot
a maple ember
burning bright
on a freezing morn
Frosting
these leaves
sugared
with cold
Still Green
in the morning sun
turning
frost into dew
Frost Dodger
as summer wanes
each flower more precious
for the precariousness
Wild Strawberries
sugared
with frost
before the berries
Alongside The Maples
this
sweet season
sugars everything
Cold Astronomy
galaxies
grew on the window
a celestial body made known
Intricacies
morning sun
through feathered cold
how night lingers on the window
Sparkle
milkweed’s moment
in the sun
glittering cold
Morning Light
the sun’s warming glow
breaks through darkness
and into the cold of woods
A Whitening
the landscape shifts
colors settle underground
now we reside in white’s variety
Found And Found Again
the truth
of beauty
is always rearranging
Tail Feathers
peacock’s
plumage blooms
fans on the window
Unlocked
through
cold’s keyhole
the day accessed
Frost and Light
every shape
made known
outlines and outliers
Interior Time
winter’s internal seasons
of snow then rain
and so it all begins again
Resolve
barely
weathered by winter
the enduring oak
Cold Petals
finery
of frost
a frozen flowering
