Pine trees of winter
Burlap warms the cedars
Deer licks green needles.

Snow geese cry fleeing winter
Beeswax candles glow

Poetry by Joyce Miller
The last leaves fall
from the weeping cherry—
the farmer sees the city.
Blade of green
sharp with spring,
in winter snow.
A firefly alights a light
of bioluminescence on
a moonless night in June.
