thrown to the ground
by a punishing wind
intricacies undaunted
A Tenacity Of Delicacy
Mop Of Cold
bent to the river by cold
held to new work by ice
servitude of sweeping
Ice Monster
it gave
a silent roar
rattling primal bones
The Season’s Fashion
the myriad ways
winter wears white
in snow and ice, birch and cloud
January Thaw
a window into coexistence
the ice and mud
dried leaf and green grass
Reaching For Each Other
stepping stones
growing into the whole
of a frozen crossing
Early Winter Abstraction
morning’s bright sun
has turned the roof ice to lace
the still colorful world peeks through
Small And Sharp Like Puppy Teeth
the cold
has just begun
to nibble at the world
Winter’s Design
mosaic of ice
the ground’s
beauty enshrined
Unseen Work
beneath the snow
revealed by the sun
spring has already begun
Emeralds and Diamond Ice
the forest grows
her own kind
of jewels
Winter Is A Spider
the web
she weaves
is a dense tapestry
Wonder
the world is frozen
and yet
everything’s in motion
The Teeth Of Winter
below zero
the air bites
and ice chews granite
Dandelion Ice
old man winter puffs
and ice flies
like dandelion fluff
Cold Geometry
from sharp right angles
to the exploration
of curves
Two Tracks
hooves on ice
paws in snow
the followed and the follower
Bejeweled
the ice storm
adorns and preserves
all the delicate details
Captured Moment
falling
and then
suspended in time
Once And Again
the river delivers
a splash
of blue sky
Layered Realms
fall submerged
beneath ice
and shadows
Porthole
an autumn rain
becomes winter ice
window to the seasons passage
Dressing For The Season
marigold’s
winter coat
is made of cold
Ducks Readying For Diving
opening the pond by
pecking away
the frozen edges
Picture Puzzle
some pieces
are made of
space
March Madness
a tangle of seasons
simultaneously
letting go and hanging on
The Night’s Needlework
shuttle of cold
looping and knotting
night into lace
I Awoke At The Ocean
sand dollars gathered
on the shoreline
of cold
On Cold Nights
the angels
dress the windows
with fleur de liys
Cold Growth Forest
between
the brook and the branch
grew a forest of ice pines
