A Winter’s Day

Winter’s frost captures sunlight,

as tiny airborne crystals

linger in the air.

---

 

White snowflakes, crystalline,

gleam, laden a-top winter’s

white dress.

As particles roll in the snow

wind-driven drifts

blow over country fields.

---

 

Light, white, prism wisps

amass – rise,

swipe wooden fence post;

permit a grant for more snow

to lift then fall.

---

 

Icicle d branches

seemingly echo cold day’s – night’s;

stiff, thick with white frost,

frozen, immobilized.

---

 

The morning’s light drapes

a long, yellow, shear,

following the horizon

above and wold below.

---

 

A stream of sunlight,

yellow and bright,

strobes through

white capped evergreen

to meet my eye.

---

 

While many Chickadee’s

gather nearby in the trees…!

Oh, how I love

to see them feed on the

sunflowers in the feeder.

---

 

But the Canadian Flicker’s,

they, bargain for a taste

of the suet

as a woodpecker waits.
