drive then reverse
again and again
I’m still stuck

white haze
unable to see
the car in front of me

icy wind
stings my face
classroom miles away

early morning
snow to my knees
empty classroom

top half champion

 

bottom quarter champion

 

 

 

 

blowing winds
steady the resolve
of my love

racing home
in the snow
to call you

burning ears
chaffed lips
snow removal from heart

snowed in
two days      waiting
for the snowplow

ambush
the neighbor kids
snowball fight

untouched snow
she falls straight back
to create a perfect snow angel

one mitten missing
rolled into
the snowman's head

look I can stand
on top of the snow
oops

little red sled
crashes into the snow bank
belly laughs

winter wonderland
I’m stuck inside
Do I have to shovel?

winter wonderland . . .
he tackles her
into the snow drift
