Three Winter Sketches in Honor of the Vernal Equinox
Profligate Sky
The thick, gray sky
wastes sleet,
now snow,
on streets that, yesterday,
were warmed by bright sun
and an ambient sixty-five degrees.
Sui Generis
an almost perfectly symmetrical
Cheshire grin of a moon tonight
above the iced roof of the house
across the street and my breath
a cloud veiling that smiling moon
Thaw Haiku
Where the sun's shadows
fell, yesterday's ice awaits
today's impatient shoes.

Interesting little cycle.
Like all three, but esp. #2. The Cheshire grin of a moon.... *
Yep, #2 is really good. #1 reminded me that your weather is my weather, a day or two earlier.*
Strong, strong lines -

Goodness. I like the trio, Gary.
