Cedars and Snow

Verdant branches, laden low

Drooping downward, sculpted snow

Layers laughing, hide and seek

Winter’s blanket, frigid, sleek

Winter Wilds

Winter wilds, empty wood

Sites where only few have stood.

Trees are sleeping, smooth and deep,

Majestic, soundless vigils keep.

Racing rapids, rivers flow

Onward, downward through the snow.

Tumbling bubbles, waters sing

“Remember, O remember spring!”

Pond

Daybreak soggy

Lowland foggy

Water glowing

Cattails flowing

Verdant beaches

Muddy reaches

Dragons dancing

Ganders prancing

Peepers peeping

Willows weeping

Locusts singing

Solace bringing
