David Walker Poet Rhyme

The Early Warning French Window

The Early Warning French Window
David J Walker

The unmistakable tapping
At the protruding 
French windows in
The breakfast nook
Is the early warning system
I’ve relied on 
betraying the otherwise
Silent arrival of a wintery day

Sleet and ice announce its 
Comings and goings 
before the unseen dawn 
The darkness extended to noon

Gray will be the color of today
Pitched against the icy white
And I might just stay 
Right here 
Watching the world from my
French Window
