Hidden benefits

 

Urban silhouette

golden sunrise with pink skies;

out walking the pup.

Cold

 

Hunched over my desk

coat and hat to keep me warm;

gas supply turned off.

January

.

Overwhelming gloom

constant miserable rain

sick and tired of it

.

Melt

 

Where early frost lay

only damp traces remain

winter sunshine melt.

Dependent

 

Horrible wet day;

sustenance and life, I must

learn to love the rain.

Renewal

 

Deep winter decay

from which all life emerges;

faintest hint of spring.

School rules

 

Hands out of pockets

walk no more than two abreast;

it wouldn’t wash now.

 

by Scooj

 

Composed while walking to work on a very chilly morning and feeling uncomfortable putting my hands in my pockets, because of the school rules imposed/imprinted on me at a young age.

Spending pennies

.

Under clean blue skies

the puppy and I share time

scouting the garden.

Reminders

 

small pockets of snow

remain in shady hollows;

there on borrowed time.

 

by Scooj

Snow

 

Table top

covered with new snow

and a leaf

since fallen

reminder of passing time

and lifetime consumed.
