Snowy tablet markings by Critters.

 

There are markings
Of a fisher chasing
A lunch or a torrid lover
To consummation.
Blue Jay draws
Snow angels
Wrestling with smaller
Ornithology.
For a choice nut.

Whining through pines
Just like queer musical score.
But the fragrance
In the air unforgettable.
There are suggestions of
That warmer summer's day.
Rains all past.
And hope for the
Furtive heart.

Strong as a sizzling fire
Neath glazed and
Dripping branch.

Waiting. Not shivering
