Früher Schnee/ Early Snow/ Temprano Nieve

Zu früh gefallen Der Schnee auf den Bergspitzen Verhüllt schon das Grün Der Rauhreif in den Tälern Bote des frühen Winters -------------------------------------- Too early fallen The snow on the mountain peaks Already covers the green The hoar-frost in the valleys Messenger of early winter ------------------------------------- Demasiado temprano caído Nieve en picos de montañas Ya cubre el verde La escarcha en los valles Mensajero de temprano invierno

Another poem I read today about changes in the environment. It's getting more difficult to predict the weather from year to year, Gert. All signs of the times, I believe.. Love, Audrey

The first snowflakes have already fallen here...Winter comes slowly. Loved your imagery! Hugs, Emilia:)

Gert, are you seeing snow already in your mountain regions? I know that the frost can make grass look white, but it seems so early for snowfall. I hope you had fun with your visitors. We've missed you and it's great to see you posting new work again. Love, Carolyn

Hi Gert Liked your Tanka.It is simple yet descriptive.I especially like how you rounded it off at the last line.Yes winter is coming and although cold, snow is so pretty when it settles though you see more of it than we do in England, my country. luv June(Sylvia)
