Winter - In Absentia

Grass in the meadow
    so brittle and brown
  Landscape just as bleak
    throughout the small town

  When it's Winter's turn
    to take the stage
  It would be polite of Autumn
    to turn the page

Cute, hide the brown and sorrow beneath a blanket of white until it's springtime again! Where we live in the desert Southwest, we almost never have snow. It is dreary and rather disheartening in my garden. I think I'll invest in metal flowers because there is not much chance of autumn stepping aside for winter in my neck of the....cactus!

Oh, those gray skies on those short, brutish winter days. Gloomy stuff alright. ~ Gershon
