Northern Winter
White northern winter. Snow
til spring. Never disappearing. Piles growing
higher.
Frozen.
Rare respite.
Deadly.
Chickadee songs inject warmth in the crispness.
Wolves and coyotes fill the sky with howls.
Snow machines' growls burn through icy air.
Ice house villages populate frozen water.
Curling, Skating and Hockey
Jazz band, Orchestra and Art Exhibits
Basketball, Speech and Play Practice
Dance, Pottery and Pilates
Piano Lessons, 4H & Skiing
Life goes on
Oppressive cold and blinding white,
yet the sun shines, eagles soar, owls hunt,
deer roam and fish somehow swim.
People smile, work, run errands and create
and they move
thru
the frozen world
Bundled.
