Mid-West Snow Storm - Haiku Poem
Day is dark as night
Northwest winds howl so fiercely
Banks twenty feet high.
This little poem describes parts of Iowa in December. Rural areas called in the national guard for help in plowing the roads. Winds blew so fiercely, however, that those roads would soon be impassible again. Ditches are full. There is no place to pile new snow. It must be stacked on top of the old. Many rural families were also without electricity for several days. Now sub-zero temperatures and nasty winds make conditions even more severe.
