[Amy] 122

Here’s a location
It’s only easy to find
If you walk backwards

[Ian] Cushioned

“Sit down. You look tired.”
“I made the cushions myself.”
said Old Man Winter

[Amy] Freezing

Decorative frost
The temperature inside
Is reflected here

[Ian] Dazzle

a dazzling display
reminds of celebrations
we have yet to have

[Ian] Mucky Bus Stop

bus sign shows my fate
it’s splattered with filthy slush
soon I will be too

[Amy] Sparkle

Best of the season
To you and your family
Is our wish to you

[Ian] Watering Can

my watering can
looks forward to the spring thaw
waits to liquify

---

a bonus haiku
on this most special of days
Merry Christmas, folks!

[Ian] Colder

objects in mirror
are colder than they appear
proceed with cocoa

[Ian] Coil

network cables coil
like a spaghetti dinner
or Medusa’s wig

[Ian] River Walk

Milwaukee river
you can stroll where the boats go
downtown river walk
