POEM: "After the Storm" from Postcards from the Solstice - New OPP Microchapbook

AFTER THE STORM

We emerge, blinking. Sunlight

unleashes color’s spectrum

from a canvas of white.

The Golden twirls with glee,

breaks into runs and tumbles –

explosions of snow!

The Sheltie, chest deep in drifts,

throws his head back, barks thanks

to the sky.
