East of the dam

the river dances madly

freed from its season

under ice.

February 7, 2016: Clashing Images

No colder sound

than wind chimes

distressed by

bitter

winter

storm brewing

Close your eyes

and listen to

bird calls:

you can conjure up spring

in the softening breeze

Morning’s palette

indigo

violent

blushing gray

light

Today's green

is no illusion,

but, alas,

may be tomorrow's memory

Winter morning

blushes

at Lady Sun’s 

attentions

White flakes spiral down

from heavy March skies

but my eye sees

drifts of cottonwood seeds

floating against cloudless blue

on a June breeze

February 4, 2016: Use your imagination

Too dark to take a picture of the wedge of moon glowing behind a screen of clouds. 
Picture this:

Pale moon
smiles
behind
her gossamer veil
of clouds

Lady Sun

swiftly retakes

ground lost

to winter's 

feeble sorties

What 

genie

of winter

was freed

by last night’s

storm?

Seen on a walk:

Runners in neon petal shorts

a pack of boys in dark hoodies

popping wheelies in the street

and branches budding

February 2, 2016: Winter Storm

Winter hurls
scattershot
of flakes
a furious
yet fragile 
barrage

Yesterday's Image

March 21, 2014, day 69

Lady Sun rides

billows of 

swiftly flying clouds

her bright face

breaking the surface

of cold gray.
