We’re the Only Ones Here

i didn’t want to
but you made me find beauty
beauty in the snow

COVID Snow Day

a "staff shortage" day
everything canceled with tracks
(hope thinner than ice)

Flake by Flake

finally, some snow
pretty enough for a pic
to wipe hopelessness

The Geese Say It’s Spring

snowy petals fall
as spring goslings first appear
(seasoned mockery)

Yet, We Face It

snow showers plague spring
with their heartless reminder
of cold’s endless reach

Black Gold

when April snow comes,
she draws perfect silhouettes
before spreading soil

Hold Fast

a snowy Monday
peppered shots fired; deaths;
(Colorado pain)

Praise Powder

a Sunday ski day
is not equal to church time
(it's so much better)

Ready, Set, Rise

winter sunrise strokes
as soft as with a paintbrush
with red glow on snow
power lines define
the hidden energy here
ready to rise up
a long-shadowed pup
feels tall in the morning light
ready for the day

Yet, So Heavy

the sun god returns
leaving only soft snow drifts
to battle today
