A Glimpse

a glimpse before shoveling
newly fallen snow crystals
dazzling sparkling magic
in the glare of back-alley lights 

almost enough to make him
fall in love again
with snow
almost

You make me want to run out there and shovel away.

Gershon, Well now, nice glimpse of winter's polar vortex dusting. Move to the land of the sunshine tax and you just might miss it. Naaaah, better still seen on distant mountains. Happy Valentine's Day. -Richard

Snow is beautiful gw. Your shoveler conveys what most who have to work in it feel. I always loved it when I had the toys to play in it. :) Linda

There’s something about newly fallen snow gleaming that brings on that loving feeling, till it turns to slush that is. Good one Gershon... Belle

There's a kind of hush that falls over us -- 'til it's all slush! You've nailed it once again, Belle. Thanks, Gershon
