#fog

evening dense fog---
a traffic cop keeps
blowing his whistle

#means

Tahrir Square, Egypt ---
tahrir in Arabic means
liberation

#fog

morning fog---
only a power plant chimneys
are still in view

#snow

with all that snow
still lying around---
it makes you giggle

#blue

blue sky---
a palm reader
looks up

#sunrise

sunrise---
January last day
more snow on the way

#sunset

sunset through a crack in the clouds-
the cat
yawns


#Egypt

Mubarak keeps shuffling the deck---
while Egypt
hemorrhages

#blue

blue sky---
a snowbird lands
on snow covered trash

#night

Saturday night---
talk of the recent snow storms
is a good ice breaker

#blue

blue sky---
I bend on slush
to retie my boots

#roofs

all that snow cover on roofs---
wear skis
but don't fall

#Rabbit

the Year of the Rabbit---
a ballet dancer
jumps

#River

East River calm---
the snow
melts

#green

the greying of America---
my generation still
talks green

#riots

Egypt's riots---
it's high time we stop
subsidizing despots

#haze

morning haze---
a column of smoke has no qualms
about moving up

#woes

La Nina---
is she responsible for
our snow woes

#fresh

fresh snow on the roofs---
the old graffiti looks
dirtier

#blue

blue sky---
and forget about
all that white on the ground

#boil

I wake up and take a look---
enough snow
to make your blood boil

#curtain

snow stops---
fog and smoke close a curtain
on the sky line

#home

Winter new storm burnout---
subways run snow is picked up
but most stay home

#storm

the sound of shoveling---
a new
snow storm

#Tea

Obama's State of the Union---
even the Tea Party
cheered

#color

the night skyline---
a chimney spews smoke
the same color as the clouds

#birds

birds flying
in a snow shower---
shed

#cat

morning stillness---
the cat watches
a snow shower

#Winter

how to beat this beast Winter---
stay in bed
with some one

#Jets

the Jets---
if they only had played the first
half like they played the second


#blue

blue sky---
a plume of white smoke rises
frigid temps

#Packers

in Chicago---
the Packers bag it
to the Super Bowl

#blue

blue sky---
a football coach chalks
a play

#poodle

Sunday walk---
the poodle does not like
the man looking at its mistress

#green

the Empire State Building
doled in green---
Venus tries to get closer


#night

Saturday night---
the quiet in a bar
lined with book shelves


#River

East River nice day---
the ducks swim on
the rest is snow


#blue

blue sky---
sea gulls crowd on
left over crotons

#Moon

dawn---
a drunk eyes a passer by
a Wolf Moon

#plays

TGIF---
a mortuary plays
the Grateful Dead


#sunset

snow flurries then sunshine---
snow flurries
then sunset
#fog

evening dense fog---
a traffic cop keeps
blowing his whistle

tahrir in Arabic means

blue sky---
a snow blower operator
tosses clouds

#event

another late night snow event
I close
my curtains

#fast

customers line up for fast food---
outside sparrows wait
for crumbs

#Moon

I put out the night garbage---
a Wolf
Moon


#sunset

sunset through a crack
in the clouds---
the rest is gray

#best

eateries get graded---
the best is A
in blue not scarlet


#River

overcast skies---
nothing to look at
but the East River geese

#dawn

before dawn---
I wish for a Summer sunrise
Winter wind

#fog

evening fog---
nothing there but the lights
of the Queensborough Bridge

#fog

evening fog---
it's the original
morning fog

#form

Winter storm---
it's hard to say in what form
the H2O is falling
