Birds pecking on snow;
Black spots across the white--
Action in stillness.
Squirrel at the feeder
Devours all that is there;
Then scurried away.
In the bright sunshine
Bare tree reclaims dimensions--
All three of them.
High in the blue sky
Cirrus clouds hang motionless
Waiting for a breeze.
Staring at unknown
Empty backyard snow filled bench,
Lit up by the sun.
Snow, sun and shadows
Play together in the woods
Game of darknessandlight.
"Out! Keep Out! Keep Out!'
Signs admonish empty woods.
Overhead, crows laugh.
Lazy snow creature
Sits silently on the stump,
Just waiting to melt.
