Ten degrees, wind howling.
Curled up with a book
on the Salem witch trials.

February 9: Garden of Earthly Delights
A new interactive website allows you to take a virtual tour of Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch's famous painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights." A trip through his fantastical triptych is a "trip" indeed, especially when you can look at it this closely.
In Bosch's "Garden"
I'm distracted by the birds
but only briefly.

February 8: What the winter sky has to say
Yesterday I participated in a poetry reading at Brunswick's Curtis Public Library that was part of the town's Longfellow Days. We were each asked to read a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in addition to our own work. I chose my favorite (and seasonally appropriate) "Snow-Flakes," a line of which begins today's haiku as new snow falls past my window.
This is the poem of the air--
cold syllables fall,
slow litany.
