April Snow
7,
The morning world sparkles
Sun on new-fallen snow
A bright white coverlet
Blankets dirty break-up berms
The air on your face is warm and damp
Sweet with the scent of alder buds
Shining snow clumps adorn branches
|
|
In shining Easter finery
Magically a clump rises
And veers
Lost to sight
Against the snowfield
Ptarmigan
