It Was One of Those Mornings

Outside my window, all is dull and white
As morning spreads on cracks across the bay, 
Her prickly fissures stark, like threads contrite, 
Against the pewter of a frigid day
Where sullen the view from iced winds’ replay.

I see a varnished gleam in my heart’s eye 
While peonies are climbing at the gate ,
That  birds of red and yellow  twit nearby, 
Enchanting leafy maples, so ornate 
Till sundew bursts on fresh morn, to elate!
