snow fight!
the snowman wins
by a head
.

trees are silent
under a covering of snow
bulbs quest for light

snowmen

snow will soon
cover the streets
and children
will make snowmen
with noses larger than the moon

Through the night
snow is falling silently
across the lake
and ancient oaks
in the old deer park

frigid morning
record time to the car
driving with gloves

bears black and empty branches
the duck-egg sky -
is it a promise
or an illusion?

winterscape -
on a white canvas
ink-black trees

hard frost

steadily falling snow
a child hunched over
in winter woollies

icy sidewalk

the sidewalk was
covered with ice but I made it
to the corner store
this time, I was happy
to pay convenience prices

Love song

dining alone
the piped-in music plays
our love song

new year's day
paw-prints across the snow -
year of the tiger

red apple temptation

White Tree

frosted winter tree
a fragile white blossom

hearts electrify

across telephone wires

winter static

frozen commute
icicles forming
at end of wiper swish

Frozen cherry trees
even the crow was crying
during forty nights

biting the peel
a burst of orange mist
firelight

we take refuge

from the winter wind

the fly and I
