Sharp peaks jab the sky
dark pines wear thick coats of snow
blue skies over all

Snowbound
Door blocked by drifts, wind
knocks me back. Cold smack of snow
shouts Stay inside, fool.
Rush hour snowstorm
Four-wheel ballet, cars
spin swirl glide across four lanes
trying to get home
Where there’s smoke
No caveman struggle
to keep warm. Just a cozy
Sunday ritual.
Snow
So light, delicate.
But under its weight trees crack.
Roofs collapse. Hearts fail.
Snowstorm
The heavens open,
the earth a new firmament
dusted by cold stars.
Lake effect: Upstate New York
Thirty miles away
there’s sunshine. But in the Snow
Belt, it’s two feet deep.
January thaw
Sodden ground swampy
a mash of leaves, plants, flowers
once distinct, now soup.
Winter sun
Summer is golden
butterscotch, January
skim milk, thin weak pale.
Overlooked
Forgotten summer
umbrella aged by winter’s
wig of heavy snow.
