Sun Has Partnered With Clouds

Humming from above;
Transformer box keeps working
Despite ice below.

Shadows are subdued;
Sun has partnered with the clouds
To cast just pale forms.

Many times I walk
I think it will be the same.
Many times I'm wrong.

Snow banks are frozen;
Seems like ice is forever.
Still, the stream burbles.

Smoke in the chimney;
Still the house sign says "For Rent";
Who is keeping warm?






Football on the snow
Lies next to the snow filled swing.
Lone bird is chirping.









A flurry of buds
Dot the long slender branches;
Snow drift is frozen.

Bright sheen on the snow
Reflects the gray sky above--
A shine without joy.

Gray snow from the road
Rises to meet the white snow--
A lapping of waves.










A small straggly fir
Bows down to the dirty snow.
Will it see the Spring?

The large frozen turd
Lies by the side of the road.
Relieved creature gone.
