I watch

snow flakes big as June bugs

land and melt

by Kelly

two crows side by side –

we all need companionship

when the trees are bare

Breathe in one degree.

My mouth feels like a new stick

of winterfresh gum.

by Kelly

He keeps asking but

I will not cut his toenails —

roaring fireplace

by Kelly

two minutes before

his alarm goes off the wind

moans through the windows

by Alison

the three of us

coughing, honking, sniffling

like an orchestra

by Alison

head cold

becomes stomach bug -

my dog looks worried

by Kelly

I’m impressed with us

one thousand and two haiku –

snow moon but no snow

by Kelly

Superbowl Sunday —

Madonna so improves my

mood I watch the game.

by Alison

cold winds

and the Super Bowl -

we stay home and bake
