Cold in the air. /
Snow on the Magnolia. /
The palm of winter.
Supply lines
Watches and warnings: /
Snowpocalypse approaching. /
An inch from the end.

Colors of winter. /
Snow and holy berries, /
Grace within the cold.

First snow
First snow came to visit today. /
Did you come from far away? /
Drifting softly from gray clouds, /
Landing where the cold allowed. /
You came to rest upon my glider. /
Was that your plan, your desire? /
How long do you think you will stay? /
Can I touch you, use you like clay? /
Mold a snowball or a snowman, /
I’m not sure yet what is my plan. /
Will more snow be coming soon? /
Falling by the light of the moon. /
Drifting down and all around, /
Landing without making a sound. /
Yes, first snow came today, /
But I know you will not stay. /
The sun too soon will replace the moon /
And sweep you away like a big, yellow broom.
For footfalls in the snow, /
you wait like a five-year-old. /
What would Santa say? /

A light dusting of snow to take your mind off late summer hot and dry.

Snow exciting. /
Anticipation as white /
as the first small flakes.

The motes in the sun /
bloom larger with each movement /
downward into snow.

Autumn bats hanging down /
painted white with falling snow /
clutching hope for spring.
