Only the Woods are Singing

 

World is white again;
Winter has returned once more
On the heels of Spring.

 

 

Pine trees bowing down,
Pay obeisance to the snow.
They are motionless.

Chicken and the cow
Munch together in the snow;
Breakfast must go on.

Gray sky full of snow;
Blue ribbon on fallen pole;
Howling of a dog.

Sultry snow flakes fall,
Swiftly turning to water;
Hardly a blizzard.

 

The forest is white;
Thick pine tree shade gives darkness;
Plane hovers high above.

 

In the gray stillness
Only the woods are singing
Ultrasonic songs.

 

The tree creature frowns;
He doesn't get vacation
From watching the road.
