Silently
Nestling
Over
Walkways
Falling
Loosely
Aqua
Kisses
Evaporating
Solidifying

Baby boy was born
Very first child for my daughter
And the first grandchild for me

A Wintery Afternoon
Snowflakes are falling
Creating a blanket of white
Winter’s grand matinee

Propitious Weather
Sunshine
Brilliant, radiant
Shining, uplifting, warming
Light soothes, brings cheer
Appealing, inviting, comforting
Delightful, desirable
Fair weather

Waiting for Spring
Original Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson
Empty pots
Sit and patiently wait
For Spring’s warmth
To bring life
And fill their barren containers
With fragrant color

Sunshine and Shadows
Opaque objects
We sit outside sharing lunch
Our shadows join us

A Sunny Ground Hog Day
Sunshine!
Is so Divine!
Except it brings shadows,
Which scare animals I suppose.
Ground Hog,
Outside.
He ran to hide.
Saw his shadow today,
And it made him not want to play.
Winter!

Winter Sky
Whitest
Brightest
Puffy
Fluffy
Clouds are the whitest brightest I’ve seen
Such a pretty puffy fluffy scene

You, so fresh and new,
We welcomed into our lives
Only one month ago.
You gave us a brand new year.
Now you leave us forever.
