dressed up for halloween
or did old man winter
get snagged on a branch?
Bearded Branch
Goatee Devotee
amber eyed Billy
wears his beard
down to his shins
to troll’s chagrin
Frost Beard
The stump
wears a stubble of frost
autumn’s five o’clock shadow
Old Man Frost
leaves his whiskers behind
when he runs through the woods
chasing moonbeams and sunshine.
