It's All Black and White

Vast cover of white--
First real snowfall of the year;
January's end.

 Lone figure on road;
Silhouette against the snow.
It's all black and white.

 

 My boots are crunching;
The snow plows have gone ahead;
Sky is crystal blue.

 

Sound of snow shovel
Scraping against the driveway--
Winter serenade.

The old dead blossoms
With the help of the snow storm
Have turned white again.

My old stump buddies,
Their dry mouths filled with snow
Have little to say.

The sign is faceless;
Message is covered with snow.
(Perhaps it's blank verse).
