Blizzard

Down from North
bitter winds blow,
bearing great clouds
pregnant with snow.

Whirling, swirling, 
whipping past,
the blurry blizzard
is scheduled to last.

Way below zero
the temperatures fall –
frostbite a danger
waiting for all.

People shovel 
in parkas thick
covered with snow
in just a click.

Coming inside
with frozen toes, 
sodden clothing, 
and frozen nose

all one wants is a
warm, cozy nook, 
cup of hot chocolate
and favorite book.

I’ll stay inside
and watch it blow -
my easy chair is
safe from the snow.

I am seeing on TV how bad it is for some areas. It is cold, cold here but at least no snow or sleet coming down on us. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Thank you so much for reading my piece and making such a nice comment. It's due to go down to minus 20 wind chill again tomorrow.
