Today

Downy white snow clinging softly
                             to brown brittle branches.

                       Birds silenced and sequestered 
                   in the sprawling woods, far from sight.

                  Feral cats hiding behind the lean-to shed 
                  preen and rest, await the unsuspecting prey.
                           
            A spatial landscape, painted in peace and harmony
                                         TODAY.

Brian Sambourne Date: 11/25/2021 9:06:00 PM Your poem really speaks to me, Paulette, as we await the first snowfall of the season. Superb alliteration in line 2. The image of feral cats huddled away is delightful as well.
