Snow on the Mountain – v5

Far too cold for speedos,
An early winter upon us
The sky bluish-gray, snowing
within the scope of its influence
Mt. Katahdin, the mountain,
Clouds glowering down upon us below zero
Drifting snow, blowing, calling
us to the woods, to walking in snow shoes.
The season of Santa Claus coming
footprints of the moose, the deer,
caterpillars in the lee, the ice upon them
harbingers of winter, ice wrapped upon us
an igloo in the trees, blue, windy,
sparkly under the icecap, needing
a dog sled, sledding deeper
longing for fire, the warmth of home
memories of Christmas, of family, presents,
Eating ham and football, of ice fishing,
skating on the frozen pond, the trees with lights.
All still within, quiet, in whispers,
when there is snow on the mountain.

on NH Route 107 in Epsom, NH, Southbound,
