Winter SonnetA Poem by GrandmaryA frosty breeze doth blow the deadened leaves And mournful song the whippoorwill doth sing Then dark and cold my shivering heart grieves To think what icy days and nights will bring Shadows flitting low over darkling ground Snowflakes fall like winter's intimate shroud Softly tumbling o'er rolling hills and vales Hush! The barest whisper sounds bold and loud With frightening crack! The ice demands its due Breaking boughs lade heavily with crisp snow Footprints made by animals leave sharp clue Of search for food in Winter's pre-dawn glow Jack Frost paints windows, white with feath'ry touch My steaming coffee warms my hands so much.
