Notes About The Poem

Winter Wonderland

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

Terry Flood December 20, 2021 at 2:53 PM Lovely, Jan. my garden has loads of pyracantha and loads of cotoneaster.
