Unmasking the Season

The chill of winter
is upon us
raging and undulating
in its fierceness

icicle chips like soldiers
advance in hurls
of whiteness

overcoming all:

subtle valleys and hillsides
speckled with adorning
spruce, birch and poplar

iced up rivers and lakes
temperatures at a standstill
and below.

There is still time
to contemplate and review
any options

now flee to your nest
of comfort.

Powerful, as always, Richard. Our 'nests of comfort' ... an inspired phrase and how true. Tina

Your comments, Nathan are always appreciated. I must search out "jongleur" a new word for me. Cheers, Richard LP
