waiting in silence
life beneath winter’s blanket
the promise of spring
rebirth, and hope realized
closer with each rising sun
Using hope and magic, this is my response to a challenge from Colleen Chesebro: Silver’s Weekly #Tanka #Poetry Prompt Challenge #3 Hope & Wait.

I’m raking leaves already, but the full color change in this part of the country is still a week or more away. I can’t make any promises, but I’ll hold off the snow as long as I can.

I am over 6000 ft. here in Colorado Springs. We got hit last Wednesday. I have to pull my garden. 😦

Mid-forties at night, so far here in mid-Missouri. I don’t mind waiting.
