Snow Bird Wind Swirl
i.
Snow swirl swings around
grabs up cold wind
birds
abandon bush and branch and ground
spiral up and out
scatter.
ii.
Bird swirl swings around
shakes off cold wind
Snow flakes
outline bush and branch and ground
wait.
iii.
Wind swirl swings around
white-flecks black birds
Snow drifts
erase bush and branch and ground
gone.

I love this poem. Your use of repetition is so clever in connecting all of the elements within the cycle of the poem’s structure and the patterns and interactions of this natural event.
Thank you. I think of winter as the most timeless season, the one that has been most the same since time began, and these three elements are always part of winter (to my picture of it).
