Allan Terry Poet Ballad

A Saddle in hand

a stunning juxtaposition
the snows of June
days away from july
a blanking of thickened climatation
the something that is in the middle
the arrival of summer bought snow
werest the snows of winter
a summertime spectacle
------------------------------
"the thickened blanketed
 snowy climation"
------------------------------

 A poetic
  metaphorical expression
 describing an unnatural,
 unseasonable return of 
winter conditions during
 the early summer.
 It evokes the visual image
 of a thick, insulating layer
 of snow settling 
on the summer landscape

Alison A Smith June 29, 2026 at 5:22 PM I have seen winter come in summer twice in my life. First at Christmas which in Australia is Summer i woke as a child to snow on the ground. It didn't last but it was such a thrill. The second time a huge hailstorm that left everything covered white. Luckily it was small stones almost like snow.
