Winter Musings

A poem in HexSonetta form (described below poem)

December with no snow?
That's how it's been this year.
I've not seen tracks of deer,
nor fox or bobcat. Though
once common long ago,
they're pretty rare 'round here.

I sit by fireside
and think of Santa Claus,
and wonder how it was
before my future died
back when I lost my bride
and life was put on "pause."

Come Spring, I'll move along.
For now, I must be strong.
