Snow flurries are swirling faster and faster, soon a blanket of white covers the ground, Robin redbreast pecks at the cotoneaster - where bright red berries still can be found. Filigree snowflakes fall without any sound Winter quintain , Poetry Contest Sponsored by Francine Roberts 12/20/21

Lovely, Jan. my garden has loads of pyracantha and loads of cotoneaster. Easiest way to tell them apart is that one attacks you at every opportunity, the other only looks like it will. Good luck in the contest. Terry.

thanks David I am not a fan of snow except on christmas cards, but I got a card with a robin on a bush covered with berries and it inspired the poem:-) hugs Jan xx
