Where did January go?

 

drink the snow

my feathered friends
until the temp rises


four days after snow
the temperature warm enough
to open the door

 

 



kites at dusk  a warm January  at sea side - from M.Villines' FB post, 2014

 

birdseed and littermost important purchases after spate of snow

late January  sparrow bathing  in last night's rain


losing patience  with posting blogs   on old Vista PC

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

More winter poems

16 degrees
cardinals at the feeder
others on the snow
~~~~

in front of the fire--
no concern about stoking,
loading on split wood
~~~~

brown tuft
of oak leaves skitters
across the snow
~~~~

sock-and-slippered feet
on the hearth treadling
the rocker
~~~~

sun
highlighting icy trees
and melting the snow
~~~~

warm Epiphany
in the far yard, I pick
three daffodil buds
