Babes of Scorpio

Winter arrives on a carpet of white, in a glistening gown of ice and snow. She alights as migrating geese take flight and blustery breezes begin to blow, to the cheers of the babes of Scorpio. Snow entombs Autumn's dead in a white shroud, burying city streets till they get plowed and shutting down all but Nature's playground. As a grey, somber sky gives way to cloud, Nature's wildlife begins hunkering down.

i just love the line you used for the title here, Babes of Scorpio. That's so cool. Some of my best friends have been Scorpio and I love that image in your beautiful poem. Were you able to see Connie's funeral? I am so stupid. It went out of my mind and this morning I remembered that I had forgotten to Zoom into it. Good grief.

Thanks, Andrea, I'm sorry I wasn't able to see Connie's funeral, I miss speaking with her, but in my heart I know she is with her family, and that offsets the pain I'm feeling. As always I welcome and appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
