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

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)
