First Snow



First snow
wet and slick
 
the ground's too hot

for you to stick.

But pretty you are-
 
now the winter wood's aglow
 
with delicate shades of purple and gray 
colors I have come to know.
Moonlight dances

off of ground and tree
casting hint of
deepest purple

for all of us to see.

    Gorgeous shot, lg!
