Seek Shelter
The wind weirdly winds
around the schoolyard blacktop,
children are playing mother elephant.
Obeyance prevails in the game,
ears tuned to warnings that peal
in haunting cries—a siren's echo,
a distant wail foretelling a growing murmur.
Children halt, faces turn, unified,
toward the...

Harbors and InletsAlong the waterfront where the piano keys play,
A harbor of echoes, where notes gently sway.
Keys like ripples in a tranquil bay,
A melody of inlets, where echoes stay.
Frequencies murmur with the ebb and flow,
In the salty...

A Cold December NightLying in bed with blankets piled, body still
furnace playing chicken never seems to kick on
outside you can hear the winter wind howling
and you don't want to face the cold night
lying quietly you feel the cold...

Mixed PrecipitationSnowy, slushy mess,
driving now a test,
snowy, slushy mess,
heart is in my chest,
snowy, slushy mess,
please be a quick guest,
snowy, slushy mess,
all snow would be best,

Strong Coffee and Onion Soup
Strong coffee and
onion soup are what
I need on this grey
December day with
an overcast sky
and a mix of rain
and sleet lacking
the joie de vivre
of either.

Natural Snow SonnetIt comes from the sky, white, powdery gifts,
upsets may, but gets us vibrating,
we call in from work, get cover for shifts,
no way we are not participating.
The lots are plowed roughly, but well enough,
we see the...

Overtaking my body
As I walk down my own street....

Icicles
Drip drip go the icicles,
Hanging from the frozen gutter,
Plinking off the bicycles,
Falling with a splutter.
Blip blip go the icicles,
Dripping from their glassy towers,
Twinkling in their endless cycles,
Melting in icy showers.
Crik crik go the icicles,
Freezing in...

Wind blowing roaring waves with all of its blusterous might....

Soon WinterSoon Winter
Clouds
Rounded mounds piled
Ever higher and thicker
Heavy, hang deep gray low —
Threatening snow
— If not tonight, then tomorrow —
Over all here, upon this gurgling, burbling
Creek, which sparkles rushing
Downhill

Storm Warning
There are softly spoken
warnings muttered
in trees, hurrying
footsteps, windows
being closed.
It's headed this way.
Be quick….hide.
I fear that what is coming
will find you
and all those things
that had moved
so gently, so delicately
through this lovely world
only a...
