Last snowfall in suburbia
Though no chance for hypothermia

“Don’t taunt the alligator until after you’ve crossed the creek” Dan Rather

(7-Day Nature Photo Challenge) Day Five

Down the creek
For treasure we seek
How clear and crispy
The water runs freely

Enjoy it now
Sooner or later
It may turn brown
Don’t be a hesitater!

Pretty, little red spot
On the flower she will squat
Pretty, little Ladybug
The petals will hug

frosted-forest (DAY 1)

“Nothing burns like the cold.” George R.R. Martin

Frosted Forest

The snow was slowly floating
The trees with a powdery white cloaking
Like a sugar candy coating
As Mother Nature watched gloating

“Look how pretty I made it!
I don’t care one shit,
If the humans don’t see the fit.

It’s pretty and clean,
Most gorgeous thing they ever seen!

So what if it is freezing cold
And the ever rising wind blows!
Better suck it and enjoy,
For this, is my utter ploy!”

And so the little minions of Earth
Went forth in both fear or mirth
After all, how long could it be before the birth
Of summer
