Suspended

The air is clear & crisp its feel
While foliage full, the trees are still

A breath indrawn my senses tell!
I dread December as the devil dreads hell.

When "the trees are still", they too are probably thinking that they "dread December'', Joe.:( "suspended" is a fitting title for as much to you as, it might be for them. Still, the blasted snow is gone...for now! Love, Mikki :)

Very clever take on the "devil" contest, Joe. The last line has great alliteration and humor as well. Nicely done! Thanks for your comments, Love, Carolyn
