dark and dense
like a good chocolate cake
first snow a powdered sugar dusting
The Earth
October Snow
the maple leaf
and snow negotiate
time for everything
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
Hushed
quietest of sounds
autumn being sshh’d
first snow filling the woods
Hush
Snow covers the land with quiet,
muting the colors of Fall.
Winter’s paintbrush holds a thousand shades of grey.
October Snow
The roses bow their heads
in respect to winter.
Milk Weed
Seeds of generosity
fly away on Santa’s whiskers
before the first snow falls.
