Winter Weather? Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

We've had several days of a freezing chill
making Christmas scenes more tranquil

Modest layers of snow have clad the ground...
enough for footprints to briefly hang around

But now, the sky is a calming shade of blue...
It seems that polar winter weather withdrew

Glorious sunshine and green grass abound
It is January and not a snowflake is found

Are leafless trees and migrating birds
confused like me… as mercury tops records
