Month: November 2017

New snow a blank slate
Feet trace familiar paths
To create new art

#winter

Branches reach upward
Disappear into the sky
Low, gray, and snowy

#hiaku

Beyond the streetlights
A dark, shadowed path, step in
To a moonlit world

Sun does not hurry
To paint each tree, from top down
Soft shades of golden

Winged chickadee’s flight
Draws a playful garland’s path
Tree to tree to tree

#winter

Long windrow shadow
Dried grasses above the snow
Rustling with each breath

Wind bites from the west
But she has a friendly side
Run east to find it

#winter

The *dead* of winter?
A thousand snowy footprints
Suggest otherwise

Snow winks and sparkles
Reflecting the moon above
Full and generous

One set of footprints
Imprinted on the fresh white snow
Single sign of life
