white winter kisses
falling gently from snow clouds
frozen homeless man
footie pajamas
keeping me warm in winter
grippers on the feet
Winter frost windows,
But our hands are holding Spring,
Love begins within.

****************
two cups of cocoa
and the soft stampede of knees ~
winter melts early
palm trees at christmas
celebration is on hold
christmas needs winter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
frost-glazed silver rim~
winter's tongue laps at shadows
of thirsty sparrows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
snow hushes the night~
moonlight on tinsel whispers
waiting for your step
blue plaid flannel shirts
Illinois and iowa
winter uniform
lonesome people
wish to be wrapped as well
at Christmas time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
winter dusk descends—
a sodium-vapor halo
holds the dark at bay
concrete sentinel
casts long, lonely geometries
on rain-slicked asphalt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
crisp leaf-rustle sound~
was that a step behind me?
just the wind, unmasked.
porch pumpkin grins wide,
candle-glow sinks into seeds—
dark chews the last light.
frost sketches the pane:
ghost-trees reach with brittle bones...
winter whispers soon.

dad said buy thick coat
son bought gun so now dad says ~
wear gun and milk cows
cold toes peeking through
sandals on a winters day
silly little me
frostbite is likely
its twenty below zero
silly frozen me
might be time to shave
winter fur is pretty gross -
fear mixed emotions
