tanka tuesday :: through the window

first snow of the season
i'm looking through the window
the flakes shinning as diamonds
the ground is blanketed by
early winter dusk

outdoors is inviting me
the dry air is refreshing
passion arises as the
warmth around the hearth

a scarf wrapped around my neck
leather boots dressing my feet
gloves caressing my fingers
chilly north winds blow

  12. Coffee in a winter mug always makes the change of seasons more cheerful! It’s cold here too, but not snowing yet. About time to get out my decorative winter mugs and put them up on the kitchen shelves, in place of the mini pumpkins. 🙂
