Warm Blankets

Under warm blankets
In a cottage, I lie snug
As frost paints the glass.

Twilight

Twilight ice-blue snow
Spreads outside my window as
The dark night recedes.

Small Snow

Small snow flakes falling
Like tulle before my eyes
Obscures the forest.

Window

Peer through the window
See an old man disappear
In the blinding snow.

Winter Caldera

Snowy caldera
Walls of snow climbing to the
Sun-lit horizon.

Black

Shadows and white snow
Shoe rabbits cross deer tracks that
Fade as new snow falls.

White Fields

Flat white fields speckled
By stalks of dry yellow grass
And a tall green fir.

Sleepy

Sleepy, snowy scene
Wood smoke rises from the chimney
And rolls off the roof.

Delicate crystals

Delicate crystals
Freed from cold grey hostile clouds
Drift slowly to earth.

Tiny Flakes

Tiny white flakes float
Pass my window, light upon
The sill, and then fade.

Black Branches

Black branches stand in
Stark outline against the snowfall
Black lace on white ground.

Blue

Blue cast snow hugs
The earth hiding its dark rich
Soil till robins call.

Burr Oak

A young burr oak split
In two by the weight of snow,
Bows before nature.

White Clouds

White delicate clouds
Of snow rest on the broken
Branches in the woods.



December 15, 2009

Pre-Dawn

Predawn snow shines as
Frozen rain drops polish the
Lunar like landscape.



December 14, 2009

Yellow Grass

Tall yellow grass wears
A sparse white veil of fresh white snow
On it's bowed crown.
