Nature's Gifts

of nuts a plenty,

step by step

with grunt and squeal,

little snouts

snatch up a banquet

feast this pannage season

till bellies swell,

 

Babbling Brook

by cautious backwoods

filled with underlying bugs,

charm of Lords and Ladies

mystique,

false clues clear!

Beauty isn't what it

first appears!

 

But chill when

snowflakes start to fall;

I'll embrace and grapple

each dancing flutter,

kissing cheeks as they pass by,

reminding me that like many problems

on impact they

disperse and die.

 

I found a feather today,

white as

driven snow,

texture inter-weaved

with purity,

reminding me

Winter Angel

rebuilds my weary soul.

Though we long for Spring, I suppose winter quiet is restful to us, and the anticipation of spring around the corner, a blessing.

I enjoyed the picture of the piglets. Rhiannon

Some nice imagery here, Jenny. I liked your Winter Angel where winter is seen as a time to sleep and then wake refreshed in the spring.

Pretty piece, I too enjoyed the imagery - I liked most the final stanza, the opening line 'I found a feather today', I like the immediacy and the sudden focus on that precise moment, effective in bringing about the resulting uplift at the end
