On The First Sheet Of Soft Snow Poem by Mohammad Younus

On the first sheet of soft snow
Dogs running, skiing, skating
Celebrating Eid
Children watching, laughing
Birds perching on the naked trees
Weeping in silence,
Where to get the grains and insects?
The earth is covered with a blanket!
The lakes and ponds might freeze soon!
Farmers moaning and mourning
For the destruction of their orchards
That crumbled to ground under snow weight
Along with the ready harvest of their fruits.
Untimely snowfall as disastrous as COVID-19.
