Snowfall
From clouds
Of steely gray
Upon the earth does fall
On cold and bleak mid-afternoon:
More snow...

Post a CommentGreat write! Our rural delivery carrier is so delighted the snow missed us again. We count each day of no snow as an extra blessing :)
I really enjoyed the way you wrote this...like a skater nailing the perfect spin. Unlike the snow, your words will last, and are much warmer and more satisfying. Nicely done Mike!
We have more coming tonight and Sunday. Nice poem.
In the middle of a blizzard here in Kansas City. Treacherous today!
We are having an interesting debate re: helping the feral cats outside during a storm. It has to do with which is worse, ice or snow.
Well done.
We're getting snow as I write...
We haven't gotten any more snow luckily.
Winters in Maine are so ... long! Great poem Mike :)
Wow. Simple, yet powerful.
