On shivering

Middle of summer
Unseasonably cold breeze
Fallen rose petals

Achoo!

no more than a common cold
writing suffering

I’ll be back!

cold, meditation, painting, poem, poetry, tea, weather

the wind changed to the east
so suddenly
my fingers as blue as the shed
the meditation
became a distant state of mind
now hurrying
to complete a second coat
contemplating
a large mug of hot tea

North wind whistling
One of those ‘stay in bed’ days
Sparrows hide in pines
