Frozen Trees Draped In White Snow
Often winter is very harsh and cold,
and yet its frozen trees are draped
in white snow and that's charming and exciting;
look for the blooming snow flowers towards morning.
Other seasons echo with mellow sounds,
many are the songbirds that create harmony;
in winter we may see a raven with frosted wings,
he won't make it and will probably die of agony.
Only pine trees and holly shrubs are green,
such stateliness never whithers and is still seen,
lovelier they seen decorated with the trembling stars;
on clear nights, I sat under them and dreamt of Mars.
For many flurries of snow are delightful to watch and admire,
but it's not a joy for a shivering and frail beggar in much dire;
he may need that warm blanket to survive the bitter cold for long;
get him one and he'll find another spot to sleep and stay strong.
Wear a heavy jacket and venture in the blanket of thick snow
to help a stranded puppy trembling and feeling alone;
he'll wiggle his tail and bark happily but doesn't know
that someone is looking for him and wants to take him home.
