4 Seasons

Blizzard“Blizzard”
Thundering down the valleys
Tearing across the plains
Ten thousand steel horses
Their nostrils spitting steam
Bodies tense with anger
The bastard Boreas
Coming to claim his script...

SPRING IN THE GREAT NORTHWESTIt's Spring in The Great Northwest,
And the weather can put you to test.
Those cold northern breezes,
Bring melts and then freezes,
And soon your health ain't the best.
We're tired of the snow and the ice.
Huddled down in...

A TREE IN WINTERThe tree stood stark and lonely,
All naked in the cold.
Her branches bare, her lovely leaves,
The breath of Winter stole.
In spite of all she stood yet proud,
Her branches raised to Heaven.
A silent prayer in her heart,
For...

flurries of snowflakes
flurries of snowflakes
seem to be lighter than air
defy gravity
flurries of snowflakes
living to float on the air
defy gravity
flurries of snowflakes
yearning to reach for the sky

Natures dangerNight frost,
Shining on the road,
Slippery and slick,
Clinging to plants,
Clinging to cars,
Vehicle skidding,
Shivering in the cold,
Wrap up warm,
It's so icy outside,
Breath like smoke,
Fingers freezing cold,
Gloves to keep them warm,
Sand on the roads,
Sand on the paths,
Take great...

Winter I - The Long DarknessThough winter seems to come later
And later these years
Often now
Not until February
The snow inevitably arrives
And the trees become bent over
Shrinking in height
Growing long beards
Leaning
On a staff
Of wind from the north
Old shepherds
Tending to and kneading
The icy...

Winter II - Lending Morality To A SquirrelThe squeak of rubber is the crunch of snow
Under the steps of my winter boots
As I walk through the Below Zero
And when the day breaks
The air itself is as white as if
One is looking through...

Winter III - Children Find Their WayThe jelly beans of polished stones
Are lined up on the windowsill
Of our kitchen
Melting on the winter tongue
Of January’s narrow sun
Collected by my daughter
And devoured by her special care
For all things on Earth.
She carried the rocks...

Winter IV - Snowstorm in MichiganSails of snow
Hoisted
To the roar of northern wind
Wires wild
Leashed to masts
Banging like spoons on pots and pans
Sea of Earth lurching
Beneath
The creaking planks of our house
On we go
Tossed and turned
The bow of our kitchen
Cutting through slaps...

Winter V - The Light The DarkBraving the cold air
For the moment it takes
To stroll to the end of my driveway
Wearing but a wool sweater
I bow
To the mid-afternoon
Picking up
A popsicle of morning bound newspaper
Straightening up
To the miles and miles of blue...

Winter VI - Valentine's Day on the Straits of MackinawMy wife and I traveled here
To walk on water
With ice pics and an old shiver
The Mackinaw Straits
Where Huron and Michigan open their mouths
Kiss and hiss
Under the legs of the great suspension bridge
From which a high-rise...

Winter VII - Butterflies Behind The SnowThe snow covering the ground
Out my window
Goes on like torn-out pages
From my empty journal
Striped with a shadow from an old Red Maple
A bookmark
To the Monarch’s migration
From the mountains of Mexico
To here
Where we wait the...
