Major Melting

The icicles are dripping.
The branches lost their white.
The roads are back to blacktop.
Has winter lost its bite?

The drifts are slightly shorter;
The snowplows out of sight.
The mittens stay in pockets.
The sky has extra light.

The temperature is rising.
If weathermen are right,
There might be major melting,
Which will sure be a delight.

Mother nature must have heard my last comment on the weather because she just dumped 8 more inches of heavy wet snow here and now we're going back into the deep freeze. Been quit a winter. EH? Or should I say YEHCK. Peace. :)

Major melting will certainly be a delight. I almost twisted my ankle the other night trying to walk across hardened, distorted snow. Good write as always.
