Winter Promise

cold dead winter
dormant garden
leafless branch
gray sky curtain

cheek wind biting
gloved hand caress
brown leaf layer
crunching step

tree bark mushroom
smoke filled air
north facing moss
long shadows

bulbs cresting soil
buds swelling limbs
nests now empty
promise soon filled.

  1. I'm wishing our winter would hurry up and arrive. I'm hating the heat and humidity!

    1. Hi Lee, thanks, and I am hating all the cold and rain; ha, but I was overjoyed to discover two bird nests now revealed in the crabapple and plum trees.

    2. Echoing Lee here. I am LOATHING the sweaty season. And love the elegance of the filigree of bare tree branches against the sky.

    3. Hi Sue, thanks, isn't it so gray, but so serene just the same.

  2. As we're melting from ice covering everything, this is a nice thought of the next season coming...always there's hope.

  3. Hi Barbara, thanks, we didn't get any snow but lots of rain, yes the bird nests I saw reminded me Spring is just around the corner, something to look forward to.

  4. Cold and rainy here too... but interspersed with days in the 60's and sunshine... so can't complain. I like the different seasons and that winter is relatively short here.
