poetry, prose, and photography
the morning snowfall
soon to be trampled by life
fading in the sun
The past few mornings have featured snow. Usually it’s melted by early afternoon. I’m grateful that it’s not become a giant ball of ice overnight.
after the snowfall
leaves laden with memories
forgotten voices
winter snowfall
crows chattering
upon the silence
as the sun descends
these trees caressed by the snow
silent birds pass
underneath the snow
so much of life is asleep
dreaming about spring
snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood
Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.
upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring
Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!
overnight snow
contrasts with the junkos
dusting the grass
It snowed overnight in the Seattle area. Just enough to cover the grass but not bury it. Tis quite cold this morning.
silence of midnight
celebrate tranquility
snow upon the firs
With the snow fading
Moon hidden by trees
Life’s tenacity
