Minus twenty-two

Bird-dish rim frozen solid

Wishing for springtime

Weather Watch

Cold as a witch’s

Outside today; switching on

The gas fire again.

Bird bath

Sun bathes the landscape

Not nippy today—chipping

Sparrow takes a dip.

New Icelandic noir:
I’ll not grouse again, tho’ I’m
housed in Canada.

Winter Is Coming

I’d forgotten how
cold air outside the covers
chills me to the bone.
