29 January 2011

Children in the park,
Laughing, making snow angels,
And building snowmen.

28 January 2011

Unexpectedly,
A sunny, not-so-cold day
The icicles melt.

The icy sidewalks,
Always treacherous, are worse
After surgery.

24 January 2011
But I haven't had a problem yet.

23 January 2011

A day of sunshine--
The snow looks almost white-hot,
The air is frozen.

It’s three weeks into
The new year and I have yet
To put on my shoes.

Even in the cold
Our dog prances in the yard,
Playing in the snow.

Cold day, thin grey clouds,
The sun just a pale circle
In the western sky.

A twelve-inch long scar
Where they made the incision.
A lasting reminder.

I'm getting this year's project started a little later than I anticipated, owing to a piece of (not exactly minor) surgery and my recovery from it. With luck, I'll be able both to find things to write about and the energy to sit at my computer and write.
