Winter / William Carlos Williams
Winter
Now the snow
lies on the ground
and more snow
is descending upon it —
Patches of red dirt
hold together
the old
snow patches
This is winter —
rosettes of
leather-green leaves
by the old fence
and bare trees
marking the sky —
This is winter
winter, winter
leather-green leaves
spearshaped
in the falling snow
~~
William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
from An Early Martyr, and other poems, 1935
