Different Days

I’m sitting in the sunshine While my brother shovels snow. Here the daffodils are blooming; His still have a ways to go. Many inches of the white stuff Have been falling in the west. It’s the norm for Colorado, As his shovel can attest. Though our days are very different. On our phones we get to see Piles of snow outside his window And a sunny bench for me.

This is exactly how my sister and my phone call went today. She's in Ct, and me in Mn. I was shoveling, and she said she was enjoying a nice sunny day. :/ lol

Do I hear a gloat? That snow is beautiful. You've just got to get the right person to shovel it. This is another terrific poem.

Dear Ilene, you have wonderfully captured the contrast between different experiences across geographical locations. The imagery of sitting in the sunshine while your brother shovels snow evokes the disparity in weather conditions. I love how your poetic words convey a sense of connection despite physical distance, as technology allows us to share glimpses of our lives with loved ones. Ilene, your poem is so relatable and heartfelt reflection on the diversity of daily experiences. - Blessings, Daniel
