Icy Leaf

Icy Leaf

A Poem by Tina Kline

frost creeping along
silent - fuzzy white
painting the bare tree limbs
nature's skeletonal arms
they reach skyward
clawing tracery against
a slate grey sky
stormy white flakes drift
dotting a frosty landscape
from a high tree branch
amazingly
a single leaf hangs
a bronze leaf
coated with ice
twinkling in the dull grey light
in the distance
several crows call
black dots against the grey
as they wing away
the icy leaf
silent and unmoving
whispers
winter - winter - winter

..welcome..
Your words here paint a very wintery scene. Realistic yet haunted in a ghostly
sort of way. The whispers of winter winter winter make my hair stand on end.
Well crafted and impressive poem.

Tina, I love your use of imagery in this poem. You have a way of painting a picture in the mind's eye. It's been so damn hot down here in Atlanta, it made me look forward to winter.
