RED GLADIOLA

Fiction & Poetry Journal of T. Wong

Tag: snow

From the Prairie to the…

Plains of Indiana

Midwest child grew up
Dreaming of the sea
Ocean currents
Brine-scented breeze
But found instead a love of snow
Mountainous caps
White afterglow

Sled

The red sled in the snow
Glides towards a future unknown
Upon a path of soft eider
Or a rugged icy cover
Downhill we will go

Hunter

Tree in Mist

I recall the white
mist into which you traipsed
wrapping about you a
shawl of ice crystals

The metamorphosis into
a creature of frost, fierce
ozone and wolf fang
primal promiscuity won

the hides of conquered foes
shook, on your hips.

White waves of snowdrift
A robin in the holly
Falls still and silent

Longing for Spring

As another storm
Smothers the city in white
I think instead of twin blue eggs:
A robin’s nest

At the supermart
A lack of organic eggs
Trucks entombed in snow

On the windowsill
A week’s faded carnations
Beyond, snowy fields

An intense sun melts
The poise of winter, flitting
A black-throated blue warbler

Winter’s Approach

Mourning doves lament
As wind scatters sere-veined leaves
The snow hare’s footstep
