Winter Solitude

By the frozen creek in the woods I seek Solitude. The bleak leafless oak trees creak In the wind. So weak is the light. The meek Yellow grass blades peek through the ice. A streak Of white frost. I speak not a word. Grosbeak Pecks. The blue jays shriek on the lonely peak. January 5, 2017 For contest Rhymers delight - Internal Monorhyme Sponsored by John Hamilton 2nd place
