Winter Day Lunch Break Walk


Only the crow's quarrelsome railing
proclaimed the warm blue
winter afternoon. Yet, stoic pines
worship the azure tint of sky,
while lazy clouds huddle in stalls
unseen in their quietness.


Meanwhile,
the warm dampness

in soil nags the life
in barren wasteland,

"Come out!
Come out and play!
Don't wait

for March, April or May!
Come out!
And Play!"

Spring is nice, but I would love to be playing in the winter wonderlands of home. Don't wait for spring, jump in and play winter.
