Opal

Cloud-hazed full moon
Limns oak branches in magic.
Only in winter.

Fire Opal

Flames leaping upward
Log burning brighter at ends
Center lasts longest.

Smoky Quartz

Through cold, heavy drizzle
Sharp scent of wood smoke in car
Aroma brings warmth

Crystal

Ice crystals cover
Tabletop and boards of deck
Untouched by sunlight.
