“Snow Scene- Wanstead Park” Nils Hans Christiansen (19th century)

Inspired by lines in...

“A blind musician” haiku Nick Virgilio

The Right Proportions

A bare-tree border
A snow-covered pathway
People walking in the late afternoon.
The figures, small dark silhouettes
The trees, tall majestic columns
A branch “collects a snowflake”
Everything appears the right size
Lofty trees, minute people
A trail leading to mostly sky
Rare to see such balance
When everything seems
So out of proportion these days
