Snowdrifts hibernate
Nomads of the great white North
Neighbors until Spring.

Drifting like snowflakes, petals sift through air. White bubbles float down,
skip over stark, black tarmac surface, blown by breezes into piles, form
snowdrifts against sidewalks; pear trees green up, shed white coats of spring.

Courage glows
with the golden hue
of dare devil speed,
when stirred from embers of
the souls fears,
then shoveled to freedom,
like snowdrifts pushed aside,
allowing that migratory crusader
to reign free as
the northern wind.

Snowdrifts,
mounding crystals
sloping against buildings,
nature protects bodies inside
igloo.

See the snow falling
the frozen trees sway
snowdrifts like mountains
a squirrel running
birds at the feeder
Feel a sadness
deep loneliness
thirsty for love
the pain of death
Hear music
the fireplace
the snowplows
Taste tea
brown toast
Eggs

Diminished Hexaverse
A white out
A snow bomb
Homes snow blanketed
Whited sepulchres
Cars abandoned
Stuck in snowdrifts
An arm sticking stiffly out
Above its embedded body
Deep in its shroud of snow
The wind howling and keening
The banshee's delight in its kill
With the thaw
will come the count

Did I plant bamboo for the green?
Did I plant bamboo for the white?
When snow suggests that it
lean,
it's tippy-tops aren't at heavenward height
but, rather curled and frozen
somewhere between
the snow-clouds and snowdrifts.
These icicly moments of serene
are not only moments but rites;
snow-gifts.
So, green or white
white or green
it's bendy Kung Fu
serenes this milieu.

He wasn't into the season he said.
The past had wrapped him up blue.
But now I'm getting into his head.
Like nothing he ever knew.
Baby's hanging the lights up high.
Singing the words to each song.
Drinking wassail when evening's nigh
and the Christmas moon grows long.
His yuletide spirit holds no doubt.
For that I am to blame!
In the snowdrifts we laugh and shout.
He'll never be the same!

Rhyme
It's winter time.
Frosty, snowy, magical.
You're walking along a path,
treading lightly, jumping over snowdrifts
as if you were carried by the swirling particles.
Snowflakes settle on your coat,
like crystal hair clips they decorate your hair.
The warmth of your breath brings the air to life
and your footprints -
light, carefree, joyful
remain in memory forever.

Blank verse
Reality, like snowdrifts
Catching off guard, disregarding warm glow of sun.
Chilling through the bone.
Soul turns physical.
Pain,
Losing clarity, rational thought and peace of mind.
Snowdrifts, catching of guard
Showing unbearable clarity to reality that won't be changed.
Teeth chatter,
Soul clatters,
Pain,
No rain only snowdrifts.
Journey to the burning cold of hell on earth leaving innocence to suffer.

Rain pours against the windowpane,
As all the world has gone gray,
With dark skies all the noontide,
And foul weather keeps us inside.
Like vivid autumn leaves fallen,
Once exotic dancers on the wind,
Soon dead and buried in snowdrifts,
In keeping with the rule of the
Seasons, one dance in golden sun!
Like the afternoons daily dying,
For some vivid lives are shorter.
As the rainbow lasted for a moment,
Leaving memories before it went!

Photo of old school
pops up in Facebook newsfeed
the kind I can feel
yellow sky, edged brown
as golden sugar cookie
when you know it's done
the bright almond sun
on chocolate branches, drizzled
melting in middle
with French vanilla
snowdrifts, scoopable snowballs
and white mountain tufts
such sweet aftertaste
although dropped before finished
partially eaten
it feels warm, and cold
I taste happiness, sadness
because now... it's gone

Bare, bony fingers probe
nature’s naked cupboard
Nary a morsel seen
nutrition confined to dreams
December winds howl o’er barren ground
January storms muffle all sound
February thaws gurgle whispers of hope
Crushed by March, snowdrifts abound
Bears in hibernation, birds down south
We humans alone, down in the mouth …
One glimpse of Robin redbreast
~ no longer depressed
