Chilled Cheeks

And Frosty Moustaches

As we wander upon the soft newly fallen snow

We glimpse tracks of deer and partridge

And the pear tree has only a few fruit left at the very top

-

The wind whistles insistently - gently stroking my chilled cheeks

His moustache is lazily grasping at the flakes floating by

The few whitened strands poking out of his black muzzle

--

The bushes left their leaves to warm the soil

Several slender branches poke through

Rocking against my legs, rubbing against his frosty sides

---

The evergreens splay their hands bearing mounds of fluffly flakes

White snow, green needles, bluish sky, black dog, red cheeks

What a wonderful walk the forest offers today

----

Under the canopies of sleeping sentinels
