#happy

New Year's Day---
a school kid is happy
tomorrow is Saturday

#snow

New Year's Eve snow flurries---
I read how to make
a white Russian

#moon

the barmaid gives last call---
bottoms go up
December full moon

#cat

bitter cold night---
I pass a cat
that's sauntering

#day

windy day---
a street clown
keeps falling down

#blood

Iran rulers---
the more blood they spell
the more they crumble

#shoe

another shoe bomber---
do we need now
to take off also our socks

#blue

blue sky---
wading through yesterday's
rain puddles

#free

December dark clouds---
an ad for free
rug cleaning

#away

Day after Christmas---
continuous rain washes away
the snow dirt

#fog

morning fog---
a smoke column tries
to sneak by

#bus

Christmas Day---
strangers at a bus stop talk
New York

#full

New York Christmas Day---
a Starbucks is open
and full of regulars

#water

Christmas Eve---
long lines at the pastry shops
I buy seltzer water

#soiled

Christmas Eve---
soiled snow at the entrance
of a church

#crowd

Christmas nears---
the crowd at Times Square
moves faster

#blue

blue sky---
a kid throws
snow balls upward

#gift

late December gift giving---
an ad for erection
dysfunction

#day

bright December day---
snow on the ground
don't forget your sunglasses

#black

December blizzard---
I can see no black
from my windows

#night

Saturday night---
the snow on the Christmas tree
is real

#snow

first snow storm nears---
I clean
the windows

#wind

Times Square night cold wind---
a woman wears
thigh high boots

#blue

blue sky---
she wears
a fur coat

#tree

New York Christmas tree---
where will it go
after new year day
