Inside

Lo! Long underwear Birds stay in their nests today Toasty warm inside

The Chase

a giggling unseen starts the search, the chase, the run caught, she embraces

Suddenly

Wake to purple skies. “Sir, why have the heavens changed?” “Changed? No, that was you.”

Lockstep

warm handshake, embrace then walk lockstep together they need each other

Grow up, make no noise! (But! Inside there’s much music!?) Time now to thunder!

No Escape

Breezy tree leaves sound Fresh warm winds caress and clean cold. quiet. the box.

Barefoot harmonies Summer’s last song plays all night Ignoring Winter

Smell of warm wet leaves. Preparations for winter? Guaranteed bitter.

Overlooked
