Winter River [Haiku]

between snowy banks,
a silvery river
slips through cold mountains.

Candles [Free Verse]

Ancient cathedral: 
pews & altar
long gone.
Cold air creeps
through cracks
to flicker candles,
Candles lit for
those long dead —
though long remembered —
on a cold, winter day.

Garden Lanterns [Haiku]

legs in leaf litter,
garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

Winter Woods [Haiku]

bare branches,
in the Winter forest,
look frost-covered.

Rain Splotch[Haiku]

chilly winter day,
prismatic splotch in sky—
no bow, no ring.

Long Shadow [Haiku]

Winter sun
casts long shadows
through dead grass.

The Fray [Lyric Poem]

Rainy December day
blows in - not long to stay.
From season to season,
without any reason,
sometimes we feel the fray.

White on White [Haiku]

angular granite:
softened by snowfall,
erased by cloud.
