Midwest child grew up
Dreaming of the sea
Ocean currents
Brine-scented breeze
But found instead a love of snow
Mountainous caps
White afterglow
Tag: snow
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
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.
Snow Watch
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
Eggs
At the supermart
A lack of organic eggs
Trucks entombed in snow
Slow Time
On the windowsill
A week’s faded carnations
Beyond, snowy fields
Snow Shutdown
Anticipating snowdrifts
The city deserts
Neon signs left unread
Snow Thaw
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
