More Promptly Poetry PPC 5 and PPC 6

February

Maine Autumn draws the peepers -
those foliage seekers, whose
shutters open and close
on nature’s last colorful spree.

Summer has withdrawn,
stunning onlookers in her fiery demise.
But other, more patient eyes,
wait for the beauty of nuance.

Pennsylvania Winter is a quiet grace.
It is the peace of a soft snowfall
that covers our sins, but traces
our footsteps in shadows.
