Snow, Snow, from the Gray, Gray Sky

Snow, snow,
from the gray, gray
sky
white and glistening
where rooftops blend
into smooth gray sky
and blackbirds sit
on the wires overhead
crisscross stark
against gray, gray
like bark on the maple
out behind the fence
reaching up, up, up,
like reaching hands
stretching fingers
tring to catch the big, thick flakes
as they fall, fall
and there's so much world here
my boots crashing through
silent steps
cries of delight
ringing through gray, gray
sky

Approval ( clap clap clap)

I knew this had to be a good poem when I saw your name by it. Your poems are always great! I like the way you compared the trees to fingers. Very descriptive.

Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
