A Picture in Poetry (by me!)

Winter white

adorned with diamond

and fur

and the snow bird leaving

scratchings outside window;

Evergreens make a fantasy

where deer dream

and birches sigh

boots crunch

breath dances a waltz.

But the heart...

it longs for another world

colors drip in dew

emerald shines through fog

opera of robins

as sleep is shed

and the soul is warmed

by a longer sun.
