THE ICE RIMED TREES STOOD

 

The ice rimed trees stood

Before the snow queens cathedral

Like great ice pillars

SNOWFLAKES GENTLY FLOAT

 

Snowflakes gently float,

Pure white down of angel’s wings,

Down from heavens height

THE WINTER SNOW

 

The winter snow

Is pleasing to the eye

But this thing of beauty

Will cruelly linger

For harshly caressed

Is the naked earth

When touched

By winters icy finger

FRESH SNOW WAS FALLING

 

Fresh snow was falling

Like scattered confetti at

A winter wedding

WINTER HAIKU # 4

 

Congregations meet

At crisp ice sculpted churches

For winter weddings

FROSTY KALEIDOSCOPE

 

Frosty kaleidoscope images

Appear on the frozen panes

Touched by winters icy fingers

In the bitter seasons domain 

SUMMER SQUALL

The sky is grey and dark

Defying the sun to appear

Then the wind picks up

And thunder is getting near

Rain follows with lightning

Flashes that strike fear

And preludes the thunder

So loud it deafens the ear

But then its passes on

And the skies are clear
