Sprinter

 

Enough already!

Winter’s tendrils holding fast,

bring me some sunshine.

Thaw

.

Long snow-lined hedgerows

stand proud in the warming sun

seeing off winter.

Winter lingers

 

Reset the fireplace

mothballed until next winter

snow and ice return.

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.

 

by Scooj

Bitter

 

Siberian winds

cut merciless from the East

take no prisoners.

 

by Scooj

Close to perfect

.

Late walking to work

little traffic, bright sunlight

bish, bash, bosh; sorted.
