Snow Moon

      Mercury News, February 17, 2022, page B1

Last month's Wolf Moon howling
stirred up quite a storm
ravaging the East Coast.

February's Snow Moon
is more calm and quiet—
white peaceful silence.

Robert Frost's "Woods on
a Snowy Evening"— dark
and deep before he sleeps.

Emily Dickinson counting
snowflakes and dancing
a jig with them.

Donald Keene's talk on
Japanese art— nobody
paints snow like Hiroshige.

Met Director Montebello's
favorite painting— Monet's
"Magpie in the Snow".

Play pizzicato falling
of snow in Vivaldi's "Winter"
to honor the Snow Moon.
