Winter Woods
_____________________________________
They’re wondering about the shine out there
Mourning the fall on this frosty morning
Bare gray branches are more than they can bear
Warning us winter came without warning
*
No other season questions what you know
Wait while dormant branches support snow’s weight
So strong as below acorns gray squirrels sow
Ate one, shared one, then buried the next eight
*
I know winter’s magic astounds the eye
Piece of the woods covered in snow brings peace
Sky blue birds migrate past in the blue sky
Geese in their way in the v-shape of geese
*
Right now’s so stunning makes me want to write
Site’s so lovely it really is a site
