Drooping Dripping Trees

Drooping dripping trees;
Branches laden with thick snow
Already melting.









Wetness and whiteness
Frosts fields and drops from branches.
Concerned chickens cluck.












A metal monster--
Snow truck barrels down the road;
(It's already clear).

Revealed by the snow
Phantom tree has no bottom
Suspended in air.

White clumps of wet snow
Splat noisily on the road;
Melting has begun.

Silence in whiteness--
The snow has muted all sounds
Save for the dripping.

A single white puff
Drops from the towering branch;
Plummets to the ground.












The black and white cat
Curls up against snow and house;
It's used to contrast.

Blood red against white;
Berries seem a deeper hue.
Snow White memories.









Sun breaks through the clouds
Casting light upon the snow.
Cows stand in shadows.
