Sundogs
Sundogs glowing at -10 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) this morning over my home.

Ice crystal meadows

Cold
As the temperatures hover near 20 below, I snuggle by my fireplace and think of summer’s glow.
surrounded by cold
white-winged snowfinch fluffs feathers
eyes closed fast asleep~~~
during winter storm
icy snow torn from its banks
-nature’s throw pillows~~~
winters whitest ice
burns all the flesh it touches
without yellow flame

approaching sunset
the world grows so much colder
birds can’t bear to sing
~
coldest wintertime
is covered with morning frost
-future dreams below
~
gritty winter frost
covers the tall prairie grass
hiding shadow’s song

Early At My Window
yard light
breaks the darkness
-morning cup of joe
++++++++++++++++++++++++
winter burns
white fingertip
-in a mitten hole++++++++++++++++++++++++
morning light
on winter snow
cat tracks near the door
++++++++++++++++++++++++
early colors
displayed in grey
bunny waits for dawn++++++++++++++++++++++++
my long-haired cat
sheds mostly white
sleeping on my lap
