Winter Thaw

Sunshine, blue sky, tapestries of naked trees.
Water streams on roofs and spouts.
Hairs embracing springlike cool breezes.
Dogs and cats outside playing about.

Cars whizzing by on waterwheels turning.
Children outside with rubber boots splashing.
Snow caked mountains slowly melting.
Big footprints growing enormous blooming.

Warm golden sun rays quite seducing.
Unburdened autos suddenly austere.
Miriads of slick icicles glistening.
Sudden smoke from nearby bbq's appear.

Its a thaw in January that momentarily enraptures,
A Kodak moment that silently unfolds.
Sun rays and pleasant days not often captures,
A more scenic event seldom released from the cold!

About this poem:
Almost seemed like spring
but a bit early for that!
