It’s snowing hard today
winter won't go away,
on a slushy roadway
there’s no upswing.
The snow builds up slowly
smothering roads wholly
And I’m feeling lowly,
nature's plaything.
Not a flower around
though snowdrops should abound,
their appearance renowned
as a wellspring.
The birds have no comeback
from winter’s late attack,
frozen ground is a setback
feeding offspring.
It is hard to ignore
icebergs floating offshore,
spring seems more a folklore
on the downswing.
