December already

.

Embers of the year

a difficult one, at best

time to extinguish

Savage was the storm

borne by a lyrical name

false identity

Late

.

At last, northerlies

draw down heavy Arctic air

and we see our breath

.

by Scooj

That feeling

.

In the warming air

my pale face bathed in sunlight

spring is approaching

.

by Scooj

Somewhere…

.

Ever elusive

that pot of gold escapes me

best to be at ease

Cold snap tail

.

Sugar crystal snow

rattles the red-brown beech hedge

the ‘Beast’s’ final fling

.

by Scooj

Snow envy

.

An east-west divide

they have it and don’t want it

the snow is whiter…

by Scooj

Long tailed tits

.

They come from nowhere

never still for a moment

and then they are gone

.

by Scooj

Flatter to deceive

.

Snow to sleet to rain

settling momentarily

so disappointing

.

by Scooj

Chilly

.

The biting chill wind

cuts through to the very bone

the wind-chill factor
