Notes About The Poem

The Snowy Month of January

The Snowy Month of January

Leafless trees are pathetic to see
When winter doldrums pervade.
They flutter in the blurry flurry,
As if to, by a painter’s brush, convey
Waiting for the season’s reversal
From winter blues to spring revival.

Covered in a hoarfrost, icy sheen,
Beneath the moon, glaze the trees.
Across the landscape snow lays,
Covering tracks and pathways.
It’s easy to catch cabin fever
When from the view I derive no pleasure.

Though my heart cries out, “Recovery!”
In the snowy month of January.
