Homeward Bound

I fight nightmares of Snowmageddon fright. I write a text message, that all’s not right. Tucked in tight traffic, simmering twilight. Frozen snow white streets – overwhelming plight. Tires stuck in icy bite, no bed tonight! All night abandonment – home out of sight. Kim Rodrigues (c) 2017 *simmering – to be filled with a strong feeling that is difficult to control **snowmageddon - name of storm

You poor thing. Misery abounds in your imagery. Sounds like last year here in MD. Congrats on your win.

Another mon rhyme Kim and and a damn good one at that, as I have said to other contestants I haven't come across a bad one yet, they are all brilliant, I wouldn't like to be John to judge them, it will be hard, I froze when I read this one, thank you for sharing and take care........Vera
