An Icy Winter

Brrrr, it’s cold this morning Ice cycles hanging from the fence They look like clothespins on a line In a world so frozen and tense A herd of cattle across the lake Their frosty world is strange They look a little bewildered As they roam across the range The trees are iced up carefully When nature turns off the heat One of the winter surprises Sometimes we’d rather not repeat Our breath stops in the air Clusters ‘round our head I’d kind of like warm weather But we have the cold instead It’s time for our yearly changes For spring is on its way We can began to plan our garden For icy weather’s not here to stay!
