         —————————.           

life hides from and flees
the winter changes
winter’s falling tears freeze

            

   more cold for short days
signals the long sleep
owls fill prairie dogs’ burrows


   
frosted windows 
my visitors cancel
an angel’s choir brings cheer

Sara Kendrick January 12, 2022 at 4:52 AM I like these. Those that live where it is so cold must see some beautiful sights but also must be challenged to make it through the long cold winter. Sara

Michelle Faulkner November 16, 2021 at 8:25 PM Very picturesque of the cold bleakness of winter, and I also like the thread of hope on your last line ~ Sally Eslinger November 19, 2021 at 7:55 AM Hi, Michelle! We had a major frost the morning I wrote this and I even had to order a quilted coat :-). Complimented by your words of comment. I try to see the end-good in everything…that helps survival. Take care!

Darlene De Beaulieu November 14, 2021 at 12:40 PM Hello Sally Eslinger, Snow flurries here but I think it is just snowing now. the ground is getting covered the snowflakes. Your poem is beautifully done. Hugs. Sally Eslinger November 19, 2021 at 8:05 AM Thank you for your commenting. I missed some days on PS, sorry for late reply. I am touched by how poets love snow—it has a array of characteristics over the cold. Stay warm and inspired! sally
