Winter’s tranquility
Landscape sleeps, quiet time
Stillness fills snow-chilled air
Nature pausing, in rhyme
Snowflake-covered prairie
Farmers’ fields taking rest
Cold freezes idle land
Always dressed in whitest vest
Russian olive trees rise
Steady breeze, branches sway
Magpies call this their home
Nature wanting to play
Nearby ranches, life slows
Cattle feeding on hay
Days shorter, nights longer
Winter’s cozy chalets
Season of rest, spring waits
Snow-filled humility
Nature takes its respite
Winter’s tranquility

Thanks Susan. With our lengthy winter, some of my writing has been parked on crafting poetry about winter. I am ready for spring-like weather to make a return so I can resume my walks.

We have been fortunate here in central Ohio. The lowest temperature has been around zero. My family in Montana endured much harsher temperatures with wind chills reaching into the negative range for several days. Fortunately, all is much warmer now.
