Warmed By Winter's Chill - Sunday's Inspiration

(Winter photos of a dog on a leash, snowy roads, dogs on icy water, a man walking a dog on a snowy path by a lake, and people walking on a snowy road in the forest.)

Warmed By Winter's Chill by R.J. Pawlick

Breaths of smoky wooden embers
Swirl in cool mist.
Crunchy spray from passing tires,
Blue-gray sunset sprinkled with twinkling lights,
Enthusiastic barking softened by a heaving blanket of fog,
A distant train's thrumming whistle
Evoke my broadest grin
As my dogs join me for a walk.

-R.J. Pawlick
