A GOOD NEW YEAR TO YOU

mailboxes
barely clear of holiday cards--
IRS greetings
~~

New Year's week
pink top of hyacinth
emerges from the leaves
~~

lighting a candle--
kitchen match burns on and on
into blackness
~~

child at the window
the sun's strange effect
on icicles
~~

the cardinal
among the gray birds
on the snow
~~

trip from Florida
his Honda hits an ice patch
goodbye, car
~~

  2. I enjoyed your verse, as usual. Do we have that car thing all squared away? Glad they weren't hurt!

    1. They are home safe, thanks to his uncle, her dad and a friend. Going down tomorrow to buy him a vehicle.
