Robin Maughan Poet Free verse

Ohio January

White icing spread atop cut-out trees,
Shrubs melt,
expose green cutout cookie snowflakes,
Blue skies shove away clouds,
reveal warm glossy blanketed fields,
Sunshine toasts the breeze a golden crisp.
Gazing out the picture window,
I watch as God bakes another day of Ohio January.

Vince Suzadail Jr. April 21, 2009 at 6:23 AM We get the same weather (Pa.). I've been talking to my wife about Florida or Arizona. Somewhere that I don't need a shovel on the back porch during the Winter. You do paint a pretty picture of Ohio January though. God Bless. Vince

Sue Mason March 22, 2009 at 2:37 PM Beautiful imagery here, Robin!! I spent 3 years in Toledo back in the 60's and the winters became more than I wanted to deal with ... smile ... it snows here in Eugene but not like back there!!!

Alyssa Finley March 20, 2009 at 10:27 PM I live in Ohio as well, and I must say that this is quite appropriate for the state. Great job!
