Winter Is Coming

by Sondra Ball

Winter is coming.
The wind portends snow.
Brown leaves scatter
across the ground.
Winter is coming.
There is not much time
to stack firewood,
store winter squash,
dry venison
before the blizzards
blow about us,
bringing death
to the unprepared
and the unlucky.
Winter is coming.
