Green buds – the promise of lilac in spring.
Glazed sun – accentuates a length of snow.
Soon, only dirty, white mounds will show;
amid raw ground – not yet conditioned
for the season to follow.
The chill persists – encouraging indoor comforts.
Warm slipper socks – hot tea – a good read and furry company.
The only one who enjoys warmer weather, more than myself,
is my yellow Parakeet – Goldie. She loves an actual sunny day!
Hopefully, there’s more to come her way.
