icy sidewalk -
she refused his brown hand
then she falls down again

winter chill

the expatriate yearns

for sunny home

Chilly morning

chilly morning
she grabs me back to bed
a little longer

icy winter day
refusing his brown hand
she slips again

California winter

Dormant seed

a sliver of light
slices through
the icy landscape
beneath the snow
a dormant seed awaits

Winter advent

In my book,
Rustle of bamboo leaves

Morning chill

chilly morning
she grabs me back to bed
a bit longer

Children's fun

winter fun
after the snow ball fight
hot, hot chocolate

Help is where you find it

icy sidewalk
disdaining my helping hand
she falls again

Winter moon

a sliver of light
slices through
the icy landscape
beneath the snow
a dormant seed awaits
