seeing

 in this bleak 
weird winter
 vision shifts
 i search for red
my foil for sadness
what or who
has collected
these
 in anticipation of
slim pickings
a touch of blue and red
  wait
 the road seems to wait for winter
which is playing games 
for sure
 vision shifts
  wild vine
still has a few 
grapes
just blue

  1. almost a full bouquet of the seasons h ere today. the splash of color really does add happiness...we're having 40's and thunderstorms here. BTW, the official growing zones have been changed...most areas are now a half step warmer...I was a 5a now it's either 5b or 6a. Go figure - "yes, george, there is no global warming." cheers to the joy of a few berries.

  5. I love and need red in the winter as well. I use red silk thread for a real cheer up at this time of year. I collected two boxes of red scraps for a quilt I'm planning - all red.

    Yay, red!

  9. A weird winter indeed V! We are experiencing it in small proportions on our visit here. I have been taking photos of the stark almost bare branches with their fruit or berries still attached - so beautiful and "new" to my eyes. I alsomlove the moments the red berries appear.
