the frozen sod

I walked across my frozen lawn tonight (its brass monkeys here) and though of this. Needs a bit of work, though

Walk across
the icy lawn

crispy crackly au pied
it sounds so good
to trod
that sod
misty footprints
mark each step
crunch, crunch, crunch
so easy on the ear
the ground
so firm, yet soft
to the foot.
