COLD

                            ****  COLD  ****


                              Chilled to the bone


                    Wind whipping across your face


                                 Winter in Pueblo.

STARS

                                 *****  STARS  *****

                                        Twinkling up above


                                      Cascading over tree tops


                                        Beginning of night.

SNOW

                 ****  SNOW ****


                             Puffy white pillows


                     Covered with blankets of snow


                          Greeting me this morn.

SNOWFLAKES

SNOWFLAKES


Sticking out your tongue
catching the flakes
as they drip down your neck.


Fall into the fluff -

Spread your wings -

Angels breathe.


Look to the heavens -

Talk to the stars -

Creator is alive!


 

MORNING WALK

**** MORNING WALK ****


Four layers of clothes

Scarf wrapped around neck and face

Way below zero.

WIND CHILL

                  ****  WIND CHILL  ****


                              Bundle yourself up


                         Poor Baby has painful paws


                                 Until Bunny seen.

ICE CRYSTALS

                   ****  ICE CRYSTALS  ****


                                Hanging onto life


                       Clinging to the boughs of trees


                               Until sunshine melts.
