Snow~

Tiny white flakes

Fall softy down...

Spiraling, dancing,

Fall to the ground.

Chill Winter morn',

A deep forest scene:

Frost on the earth,

White on dark green.

Sparkling new stars

Glint on dark pines

A galaxy of feathered flakes

Herald memorable times.

Silver ice glitters,

Shivers 'neath sun.

Birds blue and red:

Add these, then done...

A frozen artwork

Of frosty jewels,

Vivid colors on white,

Varied thread spools.

The forest alive

With colors so bright,

Crimson and indigo,

Evergreen, snow-white.

October Sky~

Mist and silver light

Autumn fire burning bright,

Crimson leaves a fiery sight

'Neath October's sky...

Chill winds dwell upon the hill,

Brooks and ponds start to fill

As raindrops downwards spill.

Another summer says good-bye...

Harvest of pumpkins, squash, corn,

Frost replaces dew one morn',

Another month of beauty born...

Time for garrulous geese to fly.

A cool, clear aura fills the air,

Golds and browns and scarlets flare;

Spiced hot cider and tales to share...

Hear outside the gale's fierce cry.

Blackbirds crow from barren trees

Bundle up- lest you freeze!

Oh, for memorable days like these!

'Neath October's sky.
