White snow, furiously freely falling, carpeting the hued ground;
A freezing allegory of racism and xenophobia that’s still around:-...

lost in deep snow drifts
inside we are safe and warm
dancing by firelight

the stars are twinkling
outside the snow still falling
music softly plays...

Against barren cliffs, daylight enters , finding
glistening  horizons ,iridescent  jewels keeping
lovely minarets near Olympic peaks, quietly revealing
snowbound  turrets under  velvet winds .. 
Xanadu, you'r Zion

a snowbound day
so far from May,

dawns blustery and cold,

with frosted trees
and frozen breeze,

jealous winter keeps its hold,

but in the gray
a spotted robin plays,

so soon spring's song grows bold,

in longest night
and storming fright,

gleams new hope shining gold....

Little dog, firmly standing your ground
at the back door
no, you won't budge
not one pound of your nine
you will not near the cold snowy bank of the yard
shivering at just the thought
with chills blowing past the doorway, rattling down your warm hall

Big dog bustles by
and in one leap
is snowbound and smiling
no way to get him back inside....

Whispers

You are the winter of my life.
I claim you not out of fear of death,
but fear of living.

It is cold in my heart,
but you warm it.

My soul... is snowbound,
yet you breathe...
spring into me.

You are the piece, 
that I can not let go of, 
in the puzzle of life. 

You do not fit, 
but that matters little. 


A. Foster, 
Ann Foster...

Not even the softest hint of dawn
can wring regret from December's night
Nor can find remorse from the frozen ground,
or hasten a winter's thaw…

Yet, we are but wise
who will answer the brittle sound,
enlightened with a new-found awe
Rejoice in the pristine plan
and sight of this snowbound land

The cheerful freesias peep
Out of the cold wet soil
And share their fruitful fragrance
With lovers of the moon.

Spring is already with us
Mimosas form their blooms
We celebrate Women's Day
And sprays will abound I'm sure.

Oh everyone is happy
Except our poor Josefa
Who works in snowbound Snowbird Utah
And yearn for our new spring blooms.

But dear Jo, how I do wish,
That Spring has never come
For already I'm sneezing
Spring fever is around....

Spring, ripe and dulcet 
usher for the vines 
of mellow orchard 
green leaf perch bird chime   
thaws a winter gloom
         
Bane of snowbound
cladding doused in
red sunlight rays
sea salt tides rise
                  
Wild rose plot’s
vivid shades
signpost faith

A sprig
of fresh 

 mint
