L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Warm Winter Afternoon

I went back to the meadow today
Its call was unmistakably clear
I saw two yearlings at play,
Then, remarkably, two older deer.

Warming bringing a welcomed respite
As the animals came out to frolic
Before, inevitably, the ground is white
And winter meadow will wax bucolic.

My walk was pleasant; I shall stay,
Reclining there in restive meditation 
Near yonder knoll the rest of the day
Devoid of any unnecessary animation.

Tom Cunningham December 9, 2021 at 10:57 AM Those warm winter days are far and few between, like being in the eye of the storm. They are a welcome respite from the harsh winter that will surely follow. Tom L Milton Hankins December 9, 2021 at 11:19 AM Indeed, Tom. Although we've had a few really cold days, the weather here is unseasonably warm. We had our first skiff of snow yesterday morning, but it was gone by noon. Thanks for your thoughts.
