Royal Icing

Another spring snow
The daffodil’s golden crown
Capped with ermine white.

Rite of Spring II

Sacrificial dance
Downy snowflakes whirl and fall,
Kiss the earth – and melt.

Out Like a Lion

Wet snow, icy rain –
Winter’s weather quota filled
Two days before spring.

Ephemeral

Flurrying snowflakes
Swarm over a frozen stream
Like summer midges.

Stille Nacht II

Street lights cast their glow
Through the deep winter twilight
Silent snow sifts by.

Melt

Heaps of driveway salt
Driven into gritty drifts
Deeper than the snow.

Inception

The first flakes of snow
Stitched on a gray quilt of sky
Gulls soar silently.

Valentine’s Day II

Snowy Valentine
Footprints outlining a heart
Under her window.

Patterns

Stripes of blue and white
Stretching out across the snow
Long morning shadows.

Peaches

Overripe peaches
Tossed aside into the snow
Summer discarded.
