the dog
splashing in puddles
backlit clouds

Ha!
more weaving through ice patches
--need not wish for winter

frosted windows
the coppiced willow
remains green

crackling morning
new grass shoots
surrounded by hoar frost

a crow calls
outside the bathroom window
misty rain

two full moons
rising - double glazed from an
upper window

the wind drops
skeletal trees become clam
rain drips

evening commute
full moon hides
within the tree branches

grey clouds
reflected in pavement puddles
sullen children

horizontal trees
in the gale force winds
huddled schoolchildren

willow still has leaves
despite the biting wind
fuchsia drops

crow shadows
reflected in wet roofs
sullen clouds

shards of winter
tentatively fall
eaten by rain

headscarfed old lady
bent against the wind
willow still clutches her leaves

sodden leaves
resist the chilling wind
sullen crows

chill wind
the street deserted
rolling cola can

good advice

the cutback thistles

bloom again

two crows cackle
outside the window
a scared cat

just the beak
from a wren in the wood pile-
my godmother's quilt

winter morning
two butterflies
warm the garden

one hour on loan
until spring
winter time is here
