The moon halo
dissipates slowly…
year’s dawn

Wind roaring
over the leafless branches –
lit windows

Icy air,
among the bare branches
blank silence

Chilly weather
with ice flowers at the window –
alight candle

First calligraphy-
the shadow of limbs
on the snow

A raven’s shadow
on the new snow cover -
the empty yard

Murky sky
on the frozen ground
compact rime

A snow flake
alights on my palm
unwritten poem

Frosty branches —
warmth of your lips
on my palm

Ringing frost –
on the tea cup bottom
Japanese sketch

Blizzard –
the cat is purring
in my arms

By the fireplace
a glimmering flame…
winter wind
