A Walk in Winter Woods

A Walk in Winter Woods

Aloft above, the white pine boughs,
so laden with the snow, they bow,
and through the woods a wondrous scene
of snow upon the evergreen.

The meadows withered grassy blade
now under snowy blanket laid.
“So quiet”, very seldom heard
a chirping squirrel or song of bird.

The tracks of several white tail deer
first follow path then off they veer.
Perhaps I’ll even have the chance
to see them with a fleeting glance.

I walk beyond the path to find
a trail the rabbit left behind,
while sky and hills begin to blend
as clouds that bring more snow descend.

The sky now gray, the hour late,
one moment more to contemplate.

To home now turn
the tinder spark,
and flames will burn
before the dark.

I enjoyed your poem with its blanket of Snow, wiping all sound too, but still with so much of nature to see. Good rhyme and a lovely flow, look forward to some more.
