January's changing weather - poems

raindrops
sparkle
under
dessicated
beautyberries
[1. 22. '15]

head first
into the brown leaves
its tail twitching
[1.22. '99]

farmland disappears
under floodwaters
and tides
[news: 1.6.'97]

the incessant sound
from a dining-room wall
traced to attic vent
[1. 30. '10]

snowman coffee mug
--no sign of snow so far
this January
[1.23. '12-also true, '15]

"... not bitterly cold."
15 degrees feels bitter
to me
[1.1.'01]

gray streaks of dawn ~
town murdered in its sleep
by a twister
[A. Harter, AD-G, 1.23.'99]

raindrops
in the birdbath--
before my eyes, they turn
into whirling, mesmerizing
circles
[1.11.'15]

Fifty,
sixty degree
temps earlier preclude
any chance of a light snowfall
sticking.
[1.22.'15]
