(choka)
winter wonderland
snow filling my balcony
sipping my java
redundant image I see
cars slowing their speed
public transit the smart means
at twenty below
feels like minus thirty-five
dressing warm for work
wrapped in wool and feather lined
with studs on my boots
sun still pierces through the clouds
squinting and slogging
shuffling my way to the bus
admiring this winter scene
~
(haiku)
snow covered path
shadow at my side, leaves me
I get on the bus
