Melt

.

As fast as it came

Emma’s legacy retreats

normal life resumes.

Winter in Spring

 

Wind-sculpted snow drifts

soften a harsh urban hill;

children on sledges.

Pitching

.

From the south, Emma,

east wind from Siberia;

Bristol snow pitches.

by Scooj

In Bristol and for about a 30 mike radius, the word pitching is used instead of settling. I love the word.

Storm Emma is a low pressure storm which is bumping into the Siberian high that is sitting over Europe. Result…snow…yay.

The colour of warm

.

An amber warning

anticipation of snow

is suffocating.

Snowy forecast

 

Brittle snowflakes fall

from light clouds in a blue sky;

pretty precursor.

Kind

 

Hats for the hatless

a compassionate gesture

in difficult times.

 

by Scooj

Bitter

 

Siberian winds

cut merciless from the East

take no prisoners.

Escape

 

Managed to escape

from the clutches of housework;

A well-being walk.

Natural toy

 

Irresistible

a small wind-blown leaf tumbles

across the pavement

drawing the puppy away

from sniffing grubby lampposts.

My family…

 

Morning rush over

cat, dog and chameleon

all fed and happy .
