Winter's Dividends

White frozen mist 'pon trees' bare limbs
Ice clings to leaveless branch
Limbs bend beneath the weight of cold
Fall to earth with a crunch

Winter's beauty cast its own spell
Snow glistens like diamonds
'Pon the stark silhouetted trees 
Rest snow for ice cream viands


Written after reading Russell's 
Crystallized Snow
