Icy Driveway

After a snow storm
The snow covers ground
Outside it is cold
Then it starts to warm
The rain pours downwards
It begins to freeze
Sidewalks and driveways
Are very icy
It is hard to walk
Salt is not put down
Walking the small steps
Trying not to fall
The driveways are
dangerous 
This does not seem right
Salt should be put down
For the safety to walk

Yes it should be! So many places don't; it's frustrating. Good idea for a poem.

Hello M.L. Kiser, thank you for your comment. I am always scared to break something from an icy driveway or sidewalk. Have a nice day my friend.

Hello Timothy, it is uncomfortable to have wet feet. Now I am okay and my feet are dry. Have a nice day my friend.

hello Eve, I do not have balance for the deep snow or the icy driveways. I am always scared to break a leg or an arm. Thank you for your lovely comment have a nice evening my friend.
