Daver Austin Poet Tanka

Winter

WINTER

will it never end?
(this question from projection)
a stark scene indeed –
world in this awful white shroud,
memory of spring erased

but courage my friends
bountiful spring will return
in its old glory
for now a shoot breaks the snow
nether gods have awakened!

Michelle Mac Donald March 25, 2013 at 2:41 PM Sounds like the winter blues have climbed out of, "this awful white shroud".:( Been a while since we'd had this much snow here. Will be so nice for everyone, when "shoots break the snow." Daver, do you have maple cabanes near where you are? Keep well...love, Mikki :)
