Winter Weather

Winter winds seem angry this morning...
Pulling at the branches, teasing the last leaves
My song is quickly swept away, my voice scatters
The last of the brown meadow grass dances...

The weather is changeable this time of year....
Pink tinged skies quickly spread across the horizon
My step hurries home, I pull my coat closer
Wanting to rest by the fire, and listen to winter.

What a mood this poem creates! I especially love "The last of the brown meadow grass dances." And I like the way you choose to "listen to winter" while resting by a fire. This one goes to my faves, dear LNC. Love, Carolyn

Very descriptive Barbara. Check your sixth line: the last word there should be correctly spelled "horizon".
