Here in the Pacific Northwest we are in the middle of a fierce coldsnap. Temperatures will get down to 19 degrees tonight. That's extremely rare this time of year; in fact it's even rare in January or February when we usually see this. It's been days now and no one I know is thrilled. . .
Outside the birds feast
feathers etched by icy sun
inside: the heater
They cry like puppies
grim icebergs round my head
seagulls flying low
Winter takes its turn
Buddha on the porch holds gift
a flowercicle
stone birdbath, frozen
I pour hot water to help
drink fast neighbor cats
