An Alabama Snowfall
An Alabama Snowfall
By Elton Camp
Saturday morning we woke to find it so
The ground all covered in wondrous snow
It was a time to give it a welcoming shout
Weekend--none of us were forced to get out
Every branch and even tiny twig all outlined
Against the gray sky are so clearly defined
Clumps of snow accumulated on the evergreen
A scene in Alabama that is very seldom seen
Snowflakes were drifting lazily to the ground
White lumps showed where shrubs were found
The songbirds, though, were far from amused
They flittered about seeking food and confused
Adding to the dream was a silence in the air
Snow-covered road and nobody passing there
The world’s woes were, for a moment, at bay
Snow, for that brief time, had made it that way
