Snippet of Current WIP

Below is a snippet of my current WIP (work in progress) that is written in verse. I've been working on I Heard The Crow Cry for a few months now and thought that it would be fun to share a sneak-peak with my readers. Enjoy!

---

I trudge through

the glimmering white powder.

Looking around, there are no 

footprints anywhere.

I am the first one 

out since last night’s snow,

walking where 

no man has before. 

The morning sun

is inviting and

warm.

Such contrast 

to my very

cold, 

booted feet.

As I continue

my walk, I

feel so care-free that

I can’t help but

whistle. 

High-pitched  

notes,

like a happy bird.

Thinking of 

birds,

I am reminded that

there are crumbs in

my pocket.  

Little pieces of bread

that I save from

breakfast

each day.

In the winter,

feathered creatures

welcome my help. 

I have been 

bringing the birds

crumbs every day 

this week.

It is so cold, and

their little feet 

do not have

boots.

My mother doesn’t 

know that I 

save

some of my bread.

My father doesn’t 

know that I 

share 

with the birds.

This is my 

secret.

I love going on

hikes because,  

all around me, 

I can see the beauty that

God has created.

He is always with me.

He is with me now, 

on this cold

morning 

walk.

Smiling, I see a tree 

stump ahead.

I have arrived.
