Winter Solstice.

Winter Solstice.

Snow, radiant white,

sparks crochet flakes,

 lie, calmed.

Icicles drop-drip,

platinum pools set.

Blackbird stares at glaced mirror,

pecks at unwelcome guest.

Holly berries spill,

mash ruby sorbets.

Christmas Roses grieve

summer relatives.

Winter winds whip,

spitefully fracture timber bones

off weeping old Oaks.

Thrushes frosted voices,

strange noises,

cry in Cedars.

Shadows shiver.

Illusionist Robins morph

into rouge rose bouquets.

Death chambered Toad,

entombed,                                                                                               

 in crystallized coffin.

Pearl orbs of mistletoe

tremble with kisses.

Sherbet lemon Crocus’s

eavesdrop

from comfy corms.

A Winter Solstice!
