Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I was born and raised in Florida and have only lived where snow falls since I retired. We live in the isothermal zone of North Carolina and only get one to three snowfalls a year; and then only a sprinkling to five or six inches. If we get a foot, I may even get to make a big snow man. 

 

I Wait In Apprenhension

I Wait in Apprehension
By Franklin Price
12/8/2018

I wait in apprehension
For the snow flakes to arrive
Retired from the work of life
Don't have to go and drive

The TV says it's coming
Could be an inch to ten
Spent yesterday preparing
We may have to hunker in

It will make the view enthralling
With the fall leaves covered white
I never got them raked and bagged
The snow will make it right

I bought a snow sled yesterday
There's a hill beside the house
“You're much too old to do this”
Said my long time loving spouse

The kid inside won't listen
In second childhood I am ten
I'll sled down when the snow is here
Climb up and go again

I trust the weather people
They report on what's to be
Say the snow will be here in awhile
I'll just have to wait and see
