Well-Deserved Rest

(This morning, no fog, but the world—breathtakingly crystal,)

After a long hard day working

over twenty-four hours worth

Fog finally felt she could take a load off

laying down, falling asleep, leaving all

her responsibilities sparkly white

A Long White Day

(Deep fog yesterday early, to light fog, deep fog, light fog…all day)

A mound of white cotton presses down

squeezes low

swabs around, dabs around

sore wounds of the Fall

 

A fog of winter white compresses

soothes bare trees

missing leaves, losing leaves

aching from the Fall

Natural Halo

Softly whited halo hovers above valleys, hills, fields

floats among and through forest stands while

thickly wispy tendrils whitely finger up from many

ponds adding delicate fluff easily puffed away if the

breezes visit, but not on this magical morning

Ohio Moor

Low fog drifts among tall

new and used grasses, through an

unplowed field, creating a white lake of

bottomless tassel tops, while a blood

red cardinal eyeballs a

drippy, swinging birdfeeder

This Morning

Foggy foggy dawn

Fading gently through the morn

Singing softly of a midnight storm

That did not happen like the weather man had said

Foggy foggy dawn

Lifting slowly, soon will be gone

Green early spring shows in the lawn

And birds wait quietly ‘til it is safe to fly
