January dawn
Snowfall's promised purity
Gleams under a silver sun
Robin's flash of red
Birdsong delicately fills
The quiet white interlude

Syllable count verified on PS counter
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

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.

High winds come soaring
On a chariot of ice
Blowing alabaster hails
Sun beams thaw star threads
Bringing back hidden colours
To pour into springs chalice

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

A cold winter's night,
birds warmly nestled in nests-
frigid hibernation fight
Morning chirping songs,
scavenging frozen berries-
sparring for Spring survival

Sapphire and scarlet
Vibrant colors, singing love
Songs, joy erasing the night
Brilliant hues, graceful
Wings soaring in passionate
Purple, glowing, shimmering

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

The snow is falling *
white upon my window ledge,
the winter wind howls and blows ...
Snowflakes ... dance and prance
the snow swirls, whirls, twirls, and spins-
my kitty watches the fun ... *

First Place
Mitts on we're ready
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

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

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

Sedoka
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

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

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
