Icy Day

The dark gray clouds formed upon the horizon Creating yet another dreary, cloudy, sunless day The sun refused to shine and radiate brightness Leaving the cool, cloudy day in gloomy despair The snow had fallen the previous night Covering the brown ground of fall past The morning brought sleet and icy rain The ground now resembles that of a ice rink As the rain began to dress the surrounding Ice sheets formed and clung to what it found The snow began to fall gently downwards Big, fluffy flakes carried on the breeze Icicles formed and began to drip Slowly a water droplet would fall One by one until the icicle had disappeared To the snow covered ground below As the day progressed Snow continued on it's downward flow Ice still remained underneath the white dust Making all movement very slow.

I always wondered how to spell "icicle"...HA! You schooled me this morning! Though down here in Florida, we don't see much of the frozen stuff. Nice chilly write!

Hey, there, I am trying not to see the senryu, but it's very difficult. haha. how are you, dearie? I bet it's so cold where you are. I have oodles of comments here. Just losing one day or two . YIKES. Isn't it sad about Linda? I sure hope she can learn to type again. She made it sound like she will have to learn to be a leftie! I would take a long time to master the use of my left hand. Luv, Andrea

well, you sure described very well that day you told me about in a poetry comment! Gosh, how do you stand it? I am so glad Utah has not been like this for a long time (probably due to global warming!) Do you really need to leave or was it just something you had hoped to do? thanks for your comment. LUv, Andrea
