shapes of spruce tree
branches and windows
covered with snow and ice
work in the kitchen
time to read and write

shapes of spruce tree
branches and windows
covered with snow and ice
work in the kitchen
time to read and write
Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Daily Prompt
driving home
on different roads
and streets
these trees are taller
I remember places
that only exist in photos
and memories now
and then
the beauty
of today
November Wisconsin countryside
Bare trees elegant against the sky
Colors in the landscape muted now
October’s glory is gone
And love grows eternally
