Snowprints

before dawn arrives

the snow still touches the sky

with white fingertips

Mountain-Eating Clouds

the bowl is open

for us to earn winter skins

winter wind and all

Shadows and Needles

like leftover trees

after Christmas joy is gone

this is our country

Puffed Pockets of Hope

kitty loves jackets

Patagonia-repaired

perfectly pink warmth

January 6, 2021

my kitty comfort

is no comfort on this day

(day of infamy)

It’s Been a Year…

and the wheels still spin

and we try and wish and blow

and hope for a change

Childrearing Forwarding

parenting problems

don’t end when the kids grow up

(they can still break you)

Colorado Born and Bred

Berthoud Pass driving

sisters learn two years apart

same day, different face

Ski Date

snow like stardust

sparkling in morning light

to begin our day

Twenty-Twenty-Ski

a solo ski start

best way to begin a year

powderful hope
