I heard the merlin —
our snow bird come home to nest.
Please pick our backyard!

Frosty morn filled with
bird noise — cardinals, robins,
woodpeckers drumming.

Tiny flakes fall through
the sunlight—so glittery—
like shards of cold glass.

COO-coo-coo-coo was
the first thing I heard today.
Morning, mourning dove.

The wind howled all night
rattling storm windows and
pulling sound from trees.

Snowdrops poke through holes
in the crusty snow that still
covers our backyard.

Just did my swamp walk —
red-winged blackbirds, geese pairs, and
mallards were surprised.

I feel a spring warmth —
just a hint with softer light —
it gives me some hope.

Although sunlight streams
through a dirty window it
can still warm my heart.

Woke up to frost on
the incipient pumpkin.
Be gone! And warm up.
