Notes About The Poem

A Winter Storm

The winter storm had gathered strength
  And Its  fury was  felt through  its breadth and length
            As snowflakes flew  the  streets  turned  white
   The city became a ghostly sight
       They blamed it all on nature's wrath
     As snowplows  tried to clear clogged paths
 And people stuck inside their cars
                Thanked their rescuers and  lucky stars
 Icicles, like frozen spears,  hung from window sills
              And clung to trees  on snowy hills
 As into winter's deep freeze we plunged

I feel so bad for those who are braving the winter storms in the northeast, and without electricity... You've perfectly captured the other side of winter that is not so pretty. Really great work, Joseph!
