“Amber”
Serene winter night,
warmed by amber candlelight,
portent of sun bright.

Serene winter night,
warmed by amber candlelight,
portent of sun bright.
Steve D
Cozy wood panels,
cozy wood-burning fire,
and afternoon naps.
Steve D
Biting hilltop breeze,
turning a casual walk
into a trial.
Steve D
Lights and greenery
to brighten gray winter days,
recall the spring.
Steve D
Wood fire smoke tingles,
mingled forest detritus,
lively icy breeze.
Steve D
Inspired by Merriam-Webster’s word of the day.
Airy blue pallor.
Wan sunlit afternoon sky.
Winter’s feeble grasp.
Whispers of cold air
seeping through tiny fissures,
stealing warmth away.
Steve D
Fingers grasp through gloves,
little boots march, find purchase,
enjoying the climb.
Steve D
Refreshing, earthy,
like cold nights, a fire-warmed hearth
from one aroma.
Steve D
Tricksy winter sun
cannot convince me of spring’s
timid fits and starts.
