the river desires movement
and uses all its wiles
to dodge stillness
Tag: freezing
Obeisance
in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies
Withstanding
despite
a freezing night
still she blooms
Efforts of Ice
sedulous winter
tries again and again
to make the cold hold
Metamorphosis
The freezing pond
becomes a verdant marble.
Raft of Ducks
They venture forth
for a final swim
before the river freezes them out.
