First Snow

This morning I woke
and I saw the fresh snows;
heard Hazel the kitten
complain at cold toes.
The furnace kicks in
every couple of hours
to keep me from freezing
and provide nice hot showers.
As I dig out my scarf
and my gloves and my sweater
and can't help but wonder
if Florida's better.

Ice Migration

The geese left town some weeks ago
this morning the ice was seen.
It must be the geese it's scared of;
so am I; those honkers are mean.

New Hampshire

A day's so February pleasing
when some warming passes freezing.

Perhaps to the Caymans

When it's snowing a lot on the plot that you've got
You covet a shot at a spot where it's hot
Tucson is good, Anchorage not
But the best choice might be a warm cruise on a yot.

Snow

Enthused to find two matching flakes!
Chagrined that one was just a fake.
