Winter ornaments

leaves in the snow
Leaves on the Snow

leaves dance on the wind
celebrating with the snow
winter’s scattered art

Day 22 – Between Seasons | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

b+w leaves on snow


in-between weather
too warm to wear the snow boots…
too cold for slippers

Day 21 – A Powdered Sugar Day | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

powdered snow, falling


powdered-sugar snow
too small to descend slowly
tumbles through the wind
blowing under inside doors
filling outside’s tiny cracks

Day 13 – Unsettled Winter | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

pile of brown, fallen leaves on top of the snow in the front yard
Intermission

 


 

restless leaves dance
across the newly white grass
never still for long

errant winds stir them around
shaking off the falling snow

Day 12 – Nature’s Puppeteer | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

black and white fallen leaves on the ground
Autumn Dances

 

swirling on the path
fall leaves dance to nature’s tune
just before the snow

Day 8 – Cupcake Winter | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

Running on Snow

 

more than a dusting
but not a second layer…
frosting on the path
