"Winter's gelid circumstance" [sonnet impromptu 4]
It's possible I've something here to say
it's plausible I'm merely sounding vowels
the sun becomes a figure for the day
the moon at times is friendly with the owls
the pine is meanwhile lost in contemplation
the spruce behaves with stateliness & charm
the trees of the deciduous persuasion
are ladies bare & naked there's no harm
in such a yes indelicate position
they're anyway in slumber likely dreaming
of vernal days their sleep is an elision
of winter's gelid circumstance redeeming
With incidental hattips to the eponymous Canadian rock band, suffice to say this poem need not be construed as any form of music critique (seeming reference to barenaked ladies notwithstanding). Resemblence to non-tree persons is coincidental.

this poem's drifty signature remember
I love you both in April & December
