Snowflakes With Biting Teeth

Snowflakes With Biting Teeth Oh, beautiful snowflakes, so pure and so white, from heaven, you fell thru the darkness of night. This morn I awoke to your splendor so bright 'neath blue sky and sunshine, my new-day delight. Behind my cold window, I take in the sight, yet cozy and warmed by the sun's soothing light. A blanket of snow hugs the landscape on-site... but now comes a thought that uncovers my fright. The squirrels and rabbits, birds landing from flight; the deer, fox, coyote, that roam come twilight... I think of their feet, and somehow it's not right this lovely scene hides frosty snowflakes that bite. A human I am...and I cringe at their plight! Though nature provides...sparing painful frostbite.
