Winter's Canvas The days grow short and Christmas rounds the bend As Old Man Winter dons his robe of white Lone chipmunk scurries gathering his feast While year's last robin finally heads south With nightfall, moon appears in perfect shine Casts eerie glow 'pon nature's work of art Frail branches bent 'neath weight of winter's shawl Play shadows 'cross the rooftops down below The scent of chimneys' exhale fills the air As streetlamps spotlight snowflake pirouettes A distant carol warms a chilling heart While icicles cling bravely to the eves In silence now the world lies fast asleep Awaiting gentle nudge of morning light When Sun with fingers warm shall tease the earth And brush a shimmer 'cross the icy ground 'Tis Mother Nature's masterpiece in play A nightly curtain call for those before ~Vicky L.

Vicky, just as beautiful as always. I wouldn't expect anything other than that from you. You are such a talented lady in so many ways. Hugs, Ethel  |
