When two fronts collide

warm moist air cooled falls as snow

Winter’s final throe

A silver blanket

settles on Somerset fields

and contrails criss-cross

Hail

Ten minute downpour

like when polystyrene balls

burst from a beanbag

Standing motionless

worn down and battle-scarred bill

heron… gone fishing

Frost

Accumulation

of perfect cuboid crystals

Freezing point drama

Two wishes

Bitterly cold night

my eyes drawn to the black sky

A pleasant surprise

visited on a cold morn

thin dusting of snow

Visible breath

.

I exhale gently

fleeting misty cloud, droplets

winter approaches
