a frosty five

a frozen aria
an angry sparrow
barking at winter


a frozen farewell
a snowflake coating
on fallen feathers


the snow drifts
an unmoving breaker
patiently poised


an icicle threatens
the dallying drips
that give it life


a snowshoe rabbit
eyes the carrot
dark eyes watch

A creative poem of winter that sounds silent in the singularity of animals that dare brave the snow. Well written.

What an ominously threatening scene you’ve written, John. It builds to the climax… baited by the dark eyed one.
