in a canvas of white
maple trees are empty baskets
while pine trees are lush of cones
along ice-covered pathways-
such a grey dreary sight
yet with slight touch
of sunrise, rolling clouds, blue sky,
the morning is leavened
by puffs of yellow-butter radiance

ReplyDeleteI noticed the line about the pine cones - here we are having an unusual event as the pine cones are falling off the trees. The meteorologist said it had to do with the weather - Truedessa
