A Snowfall

peppino

Last night the snow came down in heavy flake

Leaving a gleaming blanket on the ground

No food was left for hungry birds to take

To brace the cold, they huddled as a mound

 

My heart could not endure that woeful sight

I went outside, scattering seeds on the snow

Their hunger summoned, they showed no sign of fright

I stood nearby and saw them come and go

 

Flying up and down the barren tree

They sang with joy a happy symphony

Together they enjoyed their happy meal

Conversing with each other, it seemed to me

As in a trance, a passion filled my heart

A burning wish to join their happy flight

    Well written. Enjoyed it. And how kind of you to feed them. It seemed I was there with you through the power of your poem. Gave it a "like." - Phil A.
