Peepers in the Snow [Walk of Wednesday, April 16]

 It snowed yesterday;
Today the icicles drip;
Tomorrow? Who knows?

White roof on birdhouse;
A Currier and Ives print\
On April 16!

Spring comes through the snow;
White again turns to green;
Bright sun in the blue sky.

Rough wind on the road
Murmurs coldly in myear
Words without meaning.

Wreckage on the road--
Animal or vegetable?
Bird, squirrel or tree branch?

Woods are peppered white,
Covered with last night's snow fall.
(A late April Fool).

The snow drops are gone;
In their place new chives emerge.
Spring keeps marching on.

Perched on the pavement
The dry leaf casts its shadow.
Moment of stillness.

A high pitched chorus
Comes from the unfrozen pond--
Peepers in the snow!
