First Trace of Winter

A soft blanket covers the ground
White and sticky
It clumps on the sides of my shoes 
As I walk carfully through it

Green peaks though 
In each footprint

The roofs and tops of the cars have a small dusting
Of the glitering stuff

Fall is gone quicker than expected 
Leaves covered and trees bare

Winter here we come
