as mercury dives
a wintry mix freezes
life into sculpture
the only up side
to burst pipes spewing water
ice castles forming
sounds of a faucet
above the icy silence
drip
drip
drip
drip

freezing rain

Safe from winter’s constant
Howling
In response to Patrick Jenning’s Pic and a Word Challenge #116: Cozy
The glow of life as it recedes
Deep into the dormant stage
Gathering energy, steadfastly waiting
For the first hint of spring’s warmth
To release the sleeping beauty within
And begin the life cycle anew

A life passes by
Burning brightly with abandon
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #100: Mortality and the Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!

Daffodil bells
Murmurations of spring
Chime in the wind

Stagnant autumn pond
