A Collection of Poems Written in January

I am dreaming of a world

Dewey mists and snowflake-swirled

Swing ajoined through the trees

Giddy, dizzy as you please

Watchin' stars pop out the eaves

Breath as fog and winded leaves

And with words caressed I'll stay

Safe as houses on display

Undressed and stressed (like syllables

at play)

----------------------------------------------------------------

I am off to bed to dream

About Maple, Birch and Hemlock

Away above the cloud-tops

Where I can see the snowdrifts

Alight with newborn motives

*

I am off to bed to dream

About my cotton-candy sunrise

Pink plays between the fine lines

Along the blood-red backbone's spine

And how divine (I feel) to find

Colors blending -- so sublime

These snow-dusted peaks are mine
