Portrait of a winter walk

A brittle and
colorless leaf
shines brightly
in a stream
of dog's urine.
December sunlight
sparkles, twinkling
across the leaf
as fluffy clouds
carelessly drop
in weightless heaps
over the bowl-edge
of our mountains.

  1. Ya know, it's funny, I've gotten to the point that whenever something has the subject (even if it's just a minor one) of a leaf, I imagine myself XD.

    Anyway, another lovely poem. I like the line "weightless heap." Usually when someone things of a 'heap,' they picture something heavy (at least, I do), and so I liked the subtle oxymoron :3
