Goodbye Beard

His bare, warm face
My favorite herald
Of spring

Backyard Slopes

Fearless my youngest
Son refuses tasks
Of Sisyphus

Ascends simple hills
Descends on skis
Risks slips

To soar and switch
180 degrees
Masters steep

Snow slopes
He assembles
Himself

Turn toward a door
Miss clump of wet snow
Slipping off lamp post

Mount Challenger

Cloud drapes wide shoulders,
White scarf blown far back
In the face of Crestone Peak

Dreaming of being a snowman
A soccer ball draws a line
Where it rolls

Miniature mountain range of snow
parallel to ledge of carport roof
the morning’s speed bump
