Poem: Winter Roses

Under the pristine Winter sun
a December melody plays 
cool blue notes gather 
and traipse
into frozen footprints

Robins forage for earthworms
and ripened berries
their crimson chests 
resemble tiny roses
sprouting up from the snow
with grey wings 
wrapping round like leaves

Feathers float from the sky
a neverending pillow fight 
each flake twirling towards 
its own issued fate

Bowls of twig and mud
prop themselves patiently
atop tables of Evergreen 
cradling pale blue eggs
snuggled deep in new dreams

Cups of cones overflow 
with icy dew
fragile, no longer sticky
nor traces of past residue

Soon, new songs will echo
from this familiar landscape
of chirps and whistles
melting the tired earth 
with promises of green
