Winter Wonderland


Trees semi‑ghostly

White snow atop the branches

Tips waving in the wind


Standing in white mounds of fluff

Backgrounded by a nearly as white sky

A bright red cardinal flies by


Wind picks up, throwing branches wildly

Snow falling onto unsuspecting walkers by

Such is a winter wonderland
