A raven caws from the barren branch
As cold grey clouds shadow the frozen mud
No seedlings yet emerge from this snow day‘s
Bleak landscape, as we huddle by the campfire
As bright as safety orange in the dull winter world
Padre
snow day, safety orange, campfire, seedling, raven, mud, and shadow.
Padre's Ramblings 
Excellent word picture. Love it.
