Majestic maples in wintery repose
Glistening with frosty crystals
Slumbering branches so spindly
Snowfall blanketing the sky
Obscuring the marching sentinels of trees
Fading quickly up the street
Muffling the sounds of our city
Quiet coming to the bustle
Crunching footfalls
Firmly sink in a line along the walk
A lonely pattern meanders lazily
Crisscrossed by feline paws
Snowbanks yellowed by passing dogs
Breathing in the cold crisp air
A wayward snowflake's tingly cold sensation
Landing on an outstretched tongue
Staying for just a moment then melting
Becoming fast a memory....
