It is happening in Tappan, New York right now...brrrrrrrr....

chilling winds from north at play
many a tree in frenetic sway
winter angels busy busy they be
dusting snow as far as I do see

a gossamer veil with winds do blow
and carried be the falling snow
branch and bough all dressed in white
snow crystals and sparkles of light.

Warms hugs my friends...much love...

Winter's Wolf Moon

winter's grace carried by chilling winds

through barren branches wind's melody is heard
chimes in choral accord sing sweetly
wolf moon cloaked in light
sounding sounding be the night.

Fall We Hail

Glowing amber be the sun such luminous array
As time beckons the closing of this day
A season of change within this moment now
Nature keeping its ever present vow
Brilliant gold, vibrant orange, ruby red leaves alight
Chilling winds and a distant whistle call to the night
Sounding crickets sing this season's quest and quail
The crackling rustle of gathered leaves 'tis Fall we hail
Dressed in lavish color each tree soon shall be bare
Barren bough and branch then held in Winter's care.

Wolf Moon

..this night... haiku reflection...

Wolf Moon

winds blow cold this night
shimmering glow of the moon
dancing branch and bough.

Night Spirit Of Green

it is cold
the sounding winds heard
a december night serenade
evergreens dance to the chilling winds
joyful night spirit of green.

I listen and so...Winter's Melody

haiku reflections

indigo night sky
winds to carry crystal light
mounting snows adrift.

chilling be these winds
sounding winter's melody
heed I the calling.
