7 Early Winter Notes by Joan McNerney

empty trees

standing still…only

the willow sways

another fall

has left its harvest.

the ground lies fallow

morning layers

of sky turning

endless blue

now sunshine

lighting  up

empty branches

how can clouds

stretch over

so many trees?

sky champions…birds

tweeting  plans

each morning                  

snow gusts flying

over this night

wings of an angel
