Cattail in the snow

Quietly standing,

Cattail in the falling snow.

Old man winter look.

Spring will come

Cattail and falling snow

Yes it is still cold.

Winter lingers and bites

at my toes and ears.

Cold pierces my pours.

My face silently screams ouch.

Spring come quickly.

Footsteps sound loudly

in the frigid winter weather.

I tread on the cold.

Try hard as it might,

it cannot last forever.

Spring will indeed come and rule.

Snowfall

Snowflakes gradually

drift gently from the skies.

Hurry not my friends.

Falling randomly,

each flake unique, yet the same.

All fall together.

So effortlessly

you go with the flow.

Flow snow, down you go.
