Autumn flows through bare
winter, new life pushes up-
spring is drawing near.

January 18, 2019

Week whimpers to end,
grey clouds close in, choking light-
light rain rat-a-tats.

January 16, 2019

Primula glistens
with winter rain- paradise
colour before spring.

January 3, 2019

Submerge me tonight,
cold shower after dinner-
then retire early.

December 21, 2018

A glimpse of sunshine,
memories of summers passed-
winter solstice gift.

December 20, 2018

Despite December's
gloomy weather, spring things grow-
springtime is coming.

December 18, 2018

Christmas grows closer,
one more day crossed off- Advent
calendar nears end.

December 16, 2018

Snow might not show up,

we can pretend anyways-

West Coast winter woes.

December 13, 2018

Raindrops shine, though light
in winter is dim- jewels
to light December.

December 12, 2018

Rain-soaked West Coast night,
probably no white Christmas-
we're okay with that.

December 10, 2018

Anticipation
grows day by day- Christmas is
different with kids.

December 2, 2018

Fresh boughs gathered, a
reminder of December,
knocking at door- wreath.

December 1, 2018

Child's look of wonder,
December's a strange time of
year- o Christmas tree.

November 30, 2018

Trying to light deck,
old autumn chrysanthemum-
daylight fades too soon.

November 18, 2018

Bouquet of flowers,
something to remind me that
spring will return- soon.

November 16, 2018

Artificial sun
when the real one deserts us-
yellow bouquet shines.

November 14, 2018

A reminder of
warmer climes, fairer seasons-
anthuriums.

November 6, 2018

Clouds with faces, names,
drift by as I dream of spring-
brown leaves flutter down.

November 5, 2018

Deepening autumn,
visible from my warm nest-
cold sea winks at me.

November 4, 2018

Days growing shorter,
deeper we fall- until the
solstice, seize the night.
