Sunrise Shivers
Sunrise shivers
slowly streaking
frozen fields
grasses huddled
against icy winds.
Silent sparrows
hunker down
awaiting the angst
of an unfocused
feeble warmth.
A cat scratches
timidly
at the door
pawing
a cold draft.
Somewhere
that pesky grey squirrel
slumbers
cradled
in its fluffy tail.
Softly
a reluctant sun
tints
hoar frost hard edges
with golden
promise.
