Curtis Johnson Poet Narrative

Iced In

We were iced-in during the winter of '26
Flortunately,  it lasted for only one week.

Although the roadways were safe and nice,
We were surrounded with lots of ice.

8 days and nights of black-out
4 days and nights of endangered food

A new generator refused to generate.
An old generator held Faithful to the finish.

In a broad southern sweep, with no desire to please,, Febuary rushed in with a freeze.

Although underneath, the roots held tight,
Peach and plum trees, so laden and leaning
Low with ice, were a very pleasing sight to watch.

There were heighten fears of broken water lines
And the weight of ice broke many electric lines
But at no time did we feel a threat to our lives.
