over the wintry forest
winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow

pine cones rattle on branches
chickadee seeking shelter

The very same wind will try the spruce
but the spruce will just dance.
Beautiful picture.

So much action in these few words. Poor chickadee. I always wonder about the birds (and other animals) when the weather is bad.

Thanks, Merril. I had a Canadian hemlock just off from my deck when I lived in WNY, and the chickadees would seek shelter in its branches on windy winter days.

That makes me happy. I imagine the tree giving them shelter. 🙂
