The old man grimaced
At the thought of being kind
But the sweetness of the moment
Pureed a promising smile
From his calloused lips

“Two Old Men”
Two old men chuckled
As they readied their sleds
For a speedy downhill venture
Bodies flat. . . face down
Off they flew
Like two boys
Sleighing . . .

Winter is here
Threats of sleet
And blowing snows
Taint yesterday’s
Warm visit

I like the night
Its sleuth star
finds me from
behind my curtain
of reticence
Others like the day
I like the night
It whispers that it's here
My inner being responds . . .

“A Cupped Nest”
A bird’s nest buttressed
By hardened mud and grass
Shone from the swaying limb
Like a diamond on
A rich lady’s hand

Standing
On the floor
Of many houses
Decorate stairwells
At Christmas time and
Emit wonderful fragrances
Of pine that no spray can match
Tiny replicas adorn hallways, tables . . .

Two old ladies
Sitting at the river’s edge
Took note of a bird
Diving into the water
To retrieve its prey
It sprang up from the depth
Of water with prey in beak
As they watched . . .

The early morning fog billows upward
Hovering at the base of the mountain
As if bathing the trunks of trees with mist.
The trees stand tall, embracing the lingering fog
While it gently steams . . .

The evening sun
fades into its place
of rest below the
horizon
The moon interposes
to share its
moonlight
blue hues reflect
on winter smitten evergreens . . .

Hidden feelings
Revealed to a
Vacuous person
Is like offering
Pellets to a
Criminal with
An empty gun
Once the barrel

The criminal mind
Takes aim
Fires carelessly . . .

Of laughter Santa belts out
Joviality becomes both
Poinsettias’ soft pink hues. . . flush
His puffy friendly . . .
