A White Christmas

Thank you, Buffy Silverman, for hosting Poetry Friday and for your review of Liz Garton Scanlon’s excellent new picture book, ONE DARK BIRD.

Happy Holidays!

This week, I’ve been busy getting ready for Christmas and planning to visit my son next week, but not too busy to enjoy our white Christmas and to write a haiku.

It’s been beautiful here in Syracuse today. This photo is just outside my door: fresh snow on branches and gold Christmas lights.

A cacophony 
muffled in new fallen snow--
peace, this afternoon. 

I wish everyone a peaceful Poetry Friday.
