The Queen’s Scepter

knighthood
is bestowed upon
all the glories and duties of snow

Little Flowers

in winter
even the smallest reminders
of flowers nourishes

Deceptive Delicacy

blooming through
the ferocious winter
beauty’s tenacity

Reminiscence

goldenrod in winter
summer’s memory keeper

And

crystals and petals
drift and bloom
shimmer and flower

Remains

all that remains
is all that is needed
