A Tree

A tree ripped by
Winds and made heavy with snow
Fell in a quiet wood.

Peeking

Green peeking out from
Beneath the winters wide white
Receding blanket.

The Barn

White drifting snow climbs
Up the wall filling cracks in
The weathered barn.

Rain Drop

A raindrop clings to
A naked slender branch of
Oak standing in snow.

Pavement

Pavement barely clear
Drifted shut with white pillows
Of snow once again.

Empty Cafe

Empty cafe chairs on
The table and snow on the
Chairs, wait out winter.

Ice Fishing

Little shacks belch smoke
On a frozen lake under
A grey windswept sky.

Low Clouds

Low Clouds hover on
The snow lined hill high enough
To be out of reach.

Frost

Frost coats a bare black
Branch with a single brown oak leaf
Dangling from its tip.

Naked Shrubs

Rows of naked shrubs
Stand as sentinels against
The wintry expanse.

Bright Winter

On a bright winter
Day, ice sweats in afternoon
sun gleams and shines.

Sunlit

Sunlit snow sparkles
in the silent cemetery
On a winter day.

Chickadee

A chickadee perches
On the concrete lip of a
Snow filled bird bath.

Car Park

From a snowy car
Park, I see a man at a
Desk in a window.

Snowy Stillness

Snowy stillness stops
In my backyard and carpets
My once green garden.

Ski Trails

Ski trails swerve through the
Snowy hillside under the
Clear cold cloudless sky.
