Snow in the Sunlight

A bead of water slowly slides down a glistening icicle,

melting in the sunshine after a frosty night.

Drip, drip, drip go the gutters.

The snow-capped roofs are no longer white.

Only patches of snow remain.

Puddles of water form in the dips in the ground.

A gusty breeze sweeps through the street,

reminding those outside that soon fresh snow will come.

But for now, all is bright and airy,

and the snow reflects the sunlight.
