Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.

Alone time

I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.

Protection

Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.

Christmas lights

Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

Picking Christmas trees

Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.

After the storm

Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.

Otherworlds

Viriconium,
Gormenghast, Majipoor. Dark
journeys. Twisted dreams.

Color of winter

White has many shades.
Shadow blue, sunlit gold, grey
of approaching storm.

Bonnie’s haikus

Small delicate word
studies
of a larger life
viewed by an artist.

Let it snow

Summer’s sizzle leaves
me cold. Instead, winter’s white
embrace warms my heart.
