A rapturous chord
of warmth and light sings itself
free from her guitar
The cold vertigo
Of a single soaking shoe.
Puddle poker.

Few enough, the groves
isolated from the world;
their secrets remain
Few enough, the groves
isolated from the world;
their secrets remain
a winter morning
the silence of the blue sky
absent twittering
a winter morning
the silence of the blue sky
absent twittering
single digit cold
starts off this winter month with
more cold days ahead
She wakes up and sighs;
the weather forecaster cries
the news of the cold
My wife got up this morning, looked at her weather app, and let loose a huge sigh. She normally walks a few miles every morning but this bitter cold has kept her housebound each morning, with little end in sight.

Lightning strikes, glimmer -
the horizon's simmering
possibilities
I am always pleasantly surprised with a single word takes up an entire line of a haiku poem
#3GoodThings @3goodthings
Three good things this day.
1. There is something rather meditative about doing computer puzzle games; got me distracted from the "meh".
2. Thanks to #DailyHaikuPrompt for encouraging me to write poems (cathartic and not).
3. Cool clear drinkable water.
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." - Philippians 4:8
anticipating
snow by midday and for one
other day as well
How many snowflakes
does it take to make a foot
of snow? How 'bout two?
I am really hoping the weather forecast updates that I see this morning are way off because they are suggesting we might see up to two feet of snow here over the next day or so. Hunker down for the Pats.
