Vijay Pandit Poet Verse

Erasing Old Footprints

Snow showers arrived from the darkened sky 
Sometimes like rain, sometimes white flakes
Swirling freezing winds, whirling fallen leaves

From street to street and town to town they went
Shining grassy fields, crowning barren trees
Painting a winter scene, peaceful and serene

Then a new day came, with its own emissaries
Changing my landscape, erasing old footprints

Judy Ball March 27, 2019 at 12:22 PM Nicely done Vijay. That's what happened here in Alberta yesterday. The snow had melted and then we got a slushy, freezing rain that left everything covered in ice. Probably our last snow. Hope so. Congrats my friend on a job well done. God Bless,. JB
