The Girl Who Sold The Stars
Beneath the aching winter’s shroud,
A child walked mute through the bustling crowd.
Her feet, bare whispers on the frozen stone,
Her ribs a harp of hunger’s tone.
She carried a box, her treasure, her thread
Of tiny star-sticks, sulfur-fed.
She called to the rich, the hurried, the gray,
“Buy one, kind sir, and light your way.”
But no one paused, no coin was tossed,

Winter 2024, December
Mid month
as a good a time as any other
to write of howling winds that smother
Every hint
of comfort and the daily norms
to replace them all with Darragh's storms
Which break
the trees which crash and fall upon
wires, and thus: the village power has gone
And then
in every room in every country cottage
is darkness from the lack of wattage

Winter’s Embrace
Snowflakes fall, a silent lullaby,
Blankets of white beneath twilight sky,
Bare branches etched in frost’s sigh,
Cold winds weave through the night,
Stars alight, crisp and bright,
Warm fireside light,
Frozen plight,
Deep night,
Still.

Shall We Meet December Soon?
Shall we meet December soon?
November is just for a week.
Shall we meet a new moon?
Will you show me the trick?
What have I noticed at my age?
The time flies, New Year comes.
I'll write carefully a new life page,
A page will be without any harms.
The time of the year suddenly changes,
I had no time to see many stranges.
I hope that my heart will be...

awakening (haiku cluster)
Chill spreads through the land,
Branches bare, skies hold their breath,
Snow's touch soon to come.
Frost whispers softly,
Bare earth awaits its white cloak,
Winter’s gift unfolds.
In twilight’s quiet,
Hope stirs with each frosty breath,
Snowfall's gentle kiss.
Trees reach silent arms,
Night's first flake drifts to the ground,
World awakens bright.
Hearts lift in still...

Winters fingers
Sweat on the ground
Moist all around
Shivering was the witch
Until the mob surround her switch
The crimes untold
As the woman's wrath unfolds
While the flames ignite
to the crowds’ delight
Her screams echo fuelling the mobs hate
While masking their fate as her soul surrounds them
The forest of death has a witches’ breath
With eyes that see through...
