Cool mist puffs
From stream to sea.
Icy droplets
Yearn to be free.
Oregon junco
Grasps a twig,
Craving bare ground,
He can dig.
Finding seeds and
Fat insects,
More like what
A bird expects.
Tiny sparrow
Sits alone,
So much snow
He can’t condone.
Keeping warm
and saving strength,
Sunny days
Will come at length.
