Notes About The Poem

Dying To Be Snowbirds

ad nauseum of
blizzard-snow upon snowmen —
frostbitten shovels

2/11/2021

* snowbirds - Those who live in extreme snowy conditions
in the Northern U.S. that fly to Florida where it is much warmer.
During pandemic many have to endure the circumstances.

Caren Krutsinger February 14, 2021 at 9:13 PM We are having snow, windchills, white outs. My feet are freezing! I am ready to not ever read this one again. But if you are not living it, now you can FEEL it like the rest of us.

Gershon Wolf February 11, 2021 at 8:35 PM As long as they don't actually die! from not being able to snowbird it this year... Sure wish I could, but it's not in the cards, I guess. Pretty brutal in Chicago e/o/January on, right through mid-March, they're saying. ~ Poe Lar Vortechs Kim Rodrigues February 12, 2021 at 4:17 AM Agree with that! Wasn’t trying for that twist in the title. I’d love to have a little bit of your snow. We don’t have any so far. Stay warm and safe!
