Frost
The artist trails his brush,
silvering the tips of the grass blades,
shakes sparkles into the dark,
rims the ribs of fallen leaves.
Then painstakingly,
breathtakingly,
exquisitely
etches the panes with feathery ferns.
silvering the tips of the grass blades,
shakes sparkles into the dark,
rims the ribs of fallen leaves.
Then painstakingly,
breathtakingly,
exquisitely
etches the panes with feathery ferns.
