Winter Orchard

Honestly, this is a perfect little bite if I've ever seen one!

Ha! Well played, AtomikOne. Well played.

Awwwww. I can just imagine the little critters. 🐁🐭🐀📝❤

Thank you, Barona!

Why am I wanting to crunch on a couple of ice cold apples?  This is deliciously frosty, Ahavati. My last sight before I log off... what a lovely time I've just had. Thank you.

Because ice cold apples are the best!  Thank you, Kathy.
You're appreciated.

The first stanza is absolutely perfect, artfully done and can stand on its own.
You have a beautiful poem here Ahavati capturing the melancholy season.

Thank you, Layla.  Much appreciated.  Winter can be a tough beauty for certain.

Truly enjoyed this piece as I sit gazing out my window at 7" of snow on a 14 degree morning.
Yes, all God's creatures provided for if only we stay out of the way.

Very nice and warming.

Thanks, Teri. It's cold here but no snow - for that I'm thankful!

Beautifully-written, creative, and brought beautiful imagery to mind :)

Thanks so much for sharing! I can picture the rodents feasting in their burrows under the snow, and the ice-covered branches snapping!

Fun story (sarcasm), but one time when it snowed pretty heavily where I live, a branch snapped and went right through my bedroom roof. Luckily, I was out of town, because the branch came to rest  right where I would have been sitting had I not been out of town that day!
Anyway have a good night, and once again, lovely poem :)

Thanks, NewBeginnings!  Much appreciated.  

That story is kinda Donny Darko-ish!  You weren't out golfing were you? LOL!

Maybe, lol. I had not thought of that, but you're right! :P

Hey! As long as you didn't wake up on a golf course or took the red eye!  

Thank you, Orenda!

Loved the opening icy imagery contrasted with the warm hideaway beneath.  Enjoyed...

Thank you, Wordhobo. Great name, btw.
Welcome to the Deep Side!

Your welcome!  Just getting a feel for this site. Best tegards

Jeez!  This is a bombshell in a nutshell.  If stanza 1 is the denouement/epilogue, stanza 2 is embellishment and the whole is delightful.

Thanks, Cabcool!
