West Tyson County Park

Flint Quarry Trail

Puffy clouded,

Spring-like warm,

January morning surprise

Snow melt dampened,

Slippery boulders,

Glide into gravelly ridge

Woodpeckers and Tufted Titmice,

Tease in and out of the treetops,

Briefly drifting to rest on the trail

Skeletal trees,

March through the valley,

And scale the distant hills

While the trail winds slowly,

Down the ridge,

Skirting through mossy green boulders
