Winter Wars

winter

a drizzle from the previous evening
has formed an ice crusted 
landscape
the pups walk gingerly with each step
as an occasional 
foot breaks through
the brittle surface


it does not make
for fast yard play

my dogs are stick eaters
they hunt and search
for any piece of twig
breaking the white
terrain

I have no idea
what twigs taste like
perhaps I should try one
they apparently are delicious
delicious enough to fight over

wars have been started
over lesser reasons
