Snow Day


 

Snow Day

Sisters Oregon


Consider the colors of a snowy day.

White contrasts with

Black stone peeking beneath the snow.

Blue sky painted by

Amber clouds as the sun rises.

Gold shafts of grass, stirred by a 

Gray rabbit finding refuge.

Red birds seeking shelter in

Green trees held by

Brown trunks, solid in their service.

    "grass, stirred by a gray rabbit" and "trees...solid in their service." Those are strong images in your beautiful poem. While I'm sorry you're still having snow, I'm glad this poem was born of it.
