one

Frost-rimed rose leaves

Drooping bough

Fluffed chickadees shiver.

two

Black ice

Spinning white Oldsmobile

Gray-haired onlooker agog.

three

Silver daggers eaves-dripping

One falls:

Winter’s entrance.

four

Early moon upon the ridge

Early coyote chorus

Drowning out the frost.

five

Tiny as grains of sand

Our town’s first snowflakes—

Airborne frost.
