WHITE STUFF.
Silently falling
snow covers windows,
clouds fill with iced white stuff
to drift over borders
until it starts thawing.

Unknown in Cornwall
for coast to see snowflakes
but if my weeny Tessa-dog
spends too long indoors
she gets restless when bored.
;;; ;; ;
;; ;
Walking still calls
tho\' short trip is welcome
so donning coats needed
we both dress for warmth
and promise no dawdling.
;;; ;; ;

Unlatched back door
sees Tess rushing outward
but yapping soon stops as sliding
this canine falters
to shake four frost-laden paws.
;;; ;; ;

Enough of forced
outings sniffs my ruffled lady
and flops down by fire-side
to hog hearth\'s warmth
while lazily yawning.
