Without Snow

the starkness of oak
the limbs emulating lack
cold bites without snow
without sun, leaves, they’re held back
Oh the sting - where are Spring bees?

I loved reading your beautiful Tanka, Kim. As the temperature rises, the weather becomes more agreeable for all types of wildlife.

We have that weather also--no snow yet--but I can do without. Winter moments well captured, Kim.

Hopefully we will soon see them, but at the moment it's raining cats and dogs. Hope all are well at hope. My thoughts are always on your father. Hugs.
