A Stormy Winter Night

White snow squalls shift to frigid icy sleet and rain
Coated tree limbs dance and sway, crackling in the wind
Sleet pellets pummel metal rooftops like a steel drum
Desolate roads glisten like mirrors under streetlights
Night winds loudly howl and angrily sing away
As Mother Nature’s roaring nightly chorus
Tall pines tiredly surrender and fiercely fall in booms 
Early morning sun calms as amber rays peak out
Slowly warming silver frosted trees and roads 
Birds chirp and perch at frozen feeders pecking at seed
As tree branches awaken and emerge toward the sun

Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. You have aptly described life for some in some areas these last few days. Thanks for sharing. Sara
