Winter color...

Winter Hues

by Douglas Florian

Winter has to pick and choose.

The clothes she wears

Are few in hues:

A raw sienna,

A dark burnt umber,

Some yellow ochres

Scant in number,

Steel gray day,

Navy night,

And winter white

And winter white.

It's a winter white world outside my back door!  Pine cones covered in soft  white snowy quilts , nestled on  thick green  branches....icicles sparkling from the rooftops....winter brown grasses waving their plumes above thigh high drifts.  There's joy to be found in the colors of winter.....the browns and the greens ...the whites and the grays. In the splashes of red birds and the blue of the jays.   May your winter days be filled with color also!
