their tune carried through the wind...
dawn breaks in silence

Sitting on this roof,
seeing the colored lights in neighboring windows
finding frosted panes in abstract happiness,
as winter’s wind howls about my face

Speakers blare in cramping holiday tones,
(What’s so wonderful about it - this time of year?)
Shingles damp and slippery,
still I hold on for dear life

Fingers numb...

I’m watching the icicles dripping,
Reminded of ten years ago,
When I held up my grandson to watch them,
All the things then that I couldn’t know.

How he’d soak up so much he was learning
And prove to be clever and smart;
How his joy in our moments together 
Would...

It’s cold
It snowed
I shivered
I shoveled
A Solstice sun
Silently smirked
Iridescent icicles
Licked their lips
A crunch of crusted snow
Battled the scritch of shovels
Headless snowmen
Wandered in wonder
I shoveled
I shivered
It snowed
It’s cold

ICICLES


On my eaves  glass stalactites
Sunlight lenses sparkling pure
Formed in secret overnight
Future length of life unsure

But even if they fail and fall
They  decorate  my ugly wall...

     Icicles

     Long icicles hang, one by one;
     thick icicles shine in the sun.
     As icicles melt
     to icicles, svelte,
     thin...

Milky icicles
hang from frazzled trees
desolate landscapes...

Frozen transparent 
Drawn daggers dangling downwards
Towards unwary....

Flawless, danger thorns
One touch, blood flesh shall reveal
Sore icicle shreds....

Fireplace
Holds many hearts
When it is cold
The warmth is refreshing
Snow falls outside the window
Icicles

icicles gleaming
inside trees decorated…
man and nature joined

One dark and very cold night I decided to stretch my legs and go for a walk,
Stars were so very clear, if I stood on a ladder I, could touch the Dog Star,
Jack Frost is busy frost on frost sparkled and twinkled in silver moonlight,
The...

Icebound winters stay freezing cold.
Caress the heart and free the soul.
Icons of winter amazement,
Chilling since mankind lived, ancient.
Luscious lights, a lovely dreamland.
Endless wonder sparkling, grand,
Sometimes requires help from man.
 
Sunshiny Florida can get cold. 
Picturesque ice must be cajoled.      ...

In the mild sun
	of a quiet winters afternoon
the snow gives way
	to running rivulets of water
softly flowing and dripping
	from the edges of trees and eaves
yet the cold wintry air wraps her
	icy fingers around the little drops
as they fall to the ground
	they freeze, newly born in icy...

          icicles hanging...
