Not Even Sunset

no beach silhouette 
could compare to mountain snow
with my boys up front

Blue Skies and Snow (Refrain)

i am not here now
forever staring at screens.
i am here. on skis.
The last run.

Powfect

a powder escape
from the harsh reality
of everyday life

El Dorado

world reflected
with wooden beams, windy view
and skis. always skis.

Puzzlegate

snow arrived today.
soft, slippery, it snuck in
and brought back this piece:
in the purple night
on our perfect patio
completion beckons.

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

Downhill for the Uphill

2020 ends

in the same way it began

(with downhill skiing)

2020 ends

nearly every way different

than a year ago

2020 brings

a balance of sorrow, joy

hidden behind masks

2020 ends

with screens controlling our lives

(searching for meaning)

2021

with its 5-syllable self

will bring us new hope

Coronatine, Day Nine

trying to find peace

in simple, everyday walks

with green below snow

Coronatine, Day Seven (Let’s Build a Snowman)

even if it’s small

even if it’s too chunky

it helped us get through

even if it’s spring

even if Corona wins

it helped us smile

let’s build a snowman

even if the snow is soft

we can make this work
