the flock of geese overhead.

October 24: It turns cold

Branch stripped bare:

two crows swaying in the wind.

Not a metaphor. Nope.

cold as the new moon

I write about Snowy Owls

wish it were that easy

November 7: Heat

Cat moves through the house

from one vent to another

October 7: In the feeder

Pert fledgling sparrow

what it's in for this winter.

December 13: Hazy shade of winter

Snowing in the pass--
in the old horse pasture
turkeys forage, unfazed.

Walking through Camden's Harbor Park and Amphitheatre this afternoon, the signs of coming cold were gathering with the fallen leaves.

Frost warning--

schooners wrapped in plastic,

flocks of south-bound sparrows.
