“winter” Haiku
howling wind spits snow
gnawing at hard frozen bones
ravenous winter

“Christmas”
***
Footsteps trodden upon new fallen snow
make no sound at all
not a whisper in the hush
that blankets tree and field
mountain and valley
hamlet and home
as midnight gates swing silently open
candlelit window sills cast a faint glow on downy paths
lighting the way for Christmas

“Winter’s Night”
*
snow lies on the ground dimly gleaming
icy fog creeps furtively across the frozen scape
muted moonshine’s frosty glow
gives a pearlescence to night shadows
a cacophonic dirge of silence sounds
for snowbound trees
bowing to a heavy mantle of white
ceding their verdant glory
to the rimy majesty of winter

December 3, 2010 “snow kissed”
“snow kissed”
take a walk with me in the snow
across the soft blanket of quiet snow
and listen with me to the hush
that has settled in the valley
on the cedar and pine
and rested in my heart
for I know you are mine
as we walk hand in hand
in the pure white glistening snow
kiss me among the fluttering flakes
falling feathers from angel’s wings
that tickle our smiling faces
leaving behind traces
of silver trickling across the spaces
that no longer exist between us
the melted crystalline passion of our lips
kissing in the shadowless glow
tasting the sweetness of love…and new-fallen snow

August 28, 2010 “snow kisses”
“snow kisses”
snow falls from the grey
blankets the misty mountain
in its frosty cloak
ice-cold hands reaching
across grey water spanning
to escape winter’s chilling
snowflake and river
meld silently when they meet
like lovers’ first kiss
breath hangs as a cloud
between two smiling faces
snowflake and river
