The Weight of Winter

Bearing the weight of winter

waiting for the sun

to warm my branches

to help me shed this

this winter coat.

This week, as I prepared a lesson on personification, I imagined how the trees must feel after a big snowfall.

I'm a reading specialist from Chicago, now living in the beauty of the Roosevelt National Forest in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My first book "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" is about a creative, curious, kind and messy girl who loves science and her very patient parents. I'm currently writing a YA novel about a family broken apart by a secret and a misunderstanding. Future books in the Aliana series will include dealing with forest fires, learning about clouds and animal habitats. View more posts

I like your photo. Trees do so much and they do it quietly. Good of you to voice their inner thoughts.
