Yellowstone needs snow
Snow out there looks wondering.
That’s why I told you.

By Russell, Age 7

Headlights
on puddles
Raindrops

My poodle paws
at puddles – I rarely
get to play

(a snow series)

Fresh snow –
Footprints where they
don’t belong

Fresh snow –
Unknown footprints
cross the yard

Fresh snow –
Footprints under
the window

Fresh snow –
Footprints where they
don’t belong

A wave of wind
I wait behind
my desk

Slow night
drive, the passing smell
of steak

Geese
call, I miss you –
Away

The cold sun
breaks through
Sinus pain

Night chill
The house lights
flicker
