Full of abstract coils&knots

to take on the world at large 
school day winter memories  

we threw them curve balls
one fast strong arm at a time
snow ball fights were so much fun

Over many years
Love has taken deep, deep root.
Has your love deepened, flourished

A short span of time
Our lifetime love's been given 
Soon I'll love thee even more

WHO was the dastard - Moriarty again?
WHAT was the reason for kidnapping Watson, my friend?
WHEN did Moriarty strike?
WHERE could Watson be?
WHY is Moriarty always instigating dastardly deeds?

Gelid winter winds
are creating drifts of snow
The perfect time for sledding

Trying to keep warm
I bundled up in woolens
And... played for hours in the cold

snowballs compacted
rolled up, stacked, frozen in place
man’s jewels, a carrot and coal

flurries cling to fur
and shaken loose, tail wagging 
snowball’s freshly unfurling

Peaceful is the dusk
When snow is softly falling
And ruby sun's just faded

Snowy hills beckon
to eager ones, sledding soon
in the gladsome days of youth!

Winter - W/S

snow thunder rumbles
 white fire sparkles in flurries 
  hummingbirds dine at feeders

brittle wind torrents
 howl like exiled banshees as
  a fat robin hunts for worms

January dawn
Snowfall's promised purity 
Gleams under a silver sun

Robin's flash of red 
Birdsong delicately fills
The quiet white interlude

those cold snowy days
seldom seen in warm desert
escaping frost's snow packed fields
yet desert's green leaves
depend on drinks from storm's cache
in wells shared with thirsty land

A cold winter's night,
birds warmly nestled in nests-
frigid hibernation fight

Morning chirping songs,
scavenging frozen berries-
sparring for Spring survival

in cold winter throes
city has frosted over ~
light shimmers on pristine snow 

parka covered kids
toss snowballs at each other ~
living within a snow globe

WINTER - WS

Winter is coming
Snow and ice approaching us
Long dark days all of us dread

Now winter has passed
The snow and ice have melted
And sweet spring lies up ahead

Sapphire and scarlet
Vibrant colors, singing love
Songs, joy erasing the night

Brilliant hues, graceful
Wings soaring in passionate
Purple, glowing, shimmering

In sunless dark dusk
winter blizzard blows across
the road I walk chilled back home.

Cupful hot coffee
my wife gives me at fireplace,
we’re on cloud nine together.

peeking through curtains
straining for a better view
her face is flush and gleaming
there! she surfaces again
cavorting in wind-tossed froth
dancing on a winter sky

during cold season
coated with a snow blanket
winter ski spins fantasy 

as far as eyes view
a vista of snow-clad slopes
a ritzy summer resort

stars shimmer in sky
moon on routine sentry watch
crispy spell of snow below

embers from fireplace
peek out through the windowsill
night sleeps blanketed in snow

Hawaiian Winter - WS

Snow trace e'er so oft
Soloist compacts barely
Do salt waves surge teasingly?

Surf and sand hulas
Sun melts away mini-me
So snowman bid Aloha?
