winter affair
a soft kiss brushes
cheeks blushing red at the touch--
winter's first snowflakes
November 02, 2005
iced
hockey score: 10-4,
why watch? i have no defense.
(neither do Sabres)
March 16, 2005
appointed rounds
delivering mail,
snow clinging to toes of boots
in little white mounds.
February 25, 2005
while waiting for "fast" food
snow melts into slush,
slides off of the car bumper
in the driv-thru line.
February 11, 2005
bright morning hope
morning sun streaming,
whispering through bedroom blinds
a promise of spring.
January 29, 2005
winter driving dilemma
slow driver ahead,
impatience at war with fear:
icy passing lane.
January 22, 2005
snow removal
a soft, gentle thud
a shovelful of snow lands
in the neighbor's yard
January 19, 2005
arctic highway
tires churning on roads
(too cold for salt to melt snow)
covered in beige grease
December 30, 2004
pond hockey
whack of wooden sticks
puck skitters across the ice
skates scratch in pursuit
December 23, 2004
archaeological record
temperature falls
temporary fossils form
slushy footprint trails
March 17, 2004
march storm
dashing dreams of spring,
the city freshly painted
with a coat of snow.
February 26, 2004
next morning
lone bird starts chirping
same tree, same time as before.
today, a duet!
February 25, 2004
february morning
spring coaxes the sun
tinting the snow a pale blue.
a lonely bird chirps.
February 18, 2004
morning air
cracked lips puff breath clouds
while nostrils flare protesting
the frigid sunrise.
February 06, 2004
snowplow piles
mounds of brown and white,
suburban sentries stand guard
where snow and salt meet.
January 29, 2004
snow falls
snow falls whispering
winter's peaceful symphony.
i hate to shovel.
