Nebraska Winter Is Anticipated

Nebraska has turned herself gray early this year
A desolate cornfield stands torn and disheveled
A cold front comes in from the north
She whips a few strands from the stalks
An anticipatory shiver goes through the field
An empty feeling of winter saturates the ground
Deer have decimated the last few corn kernels
Nebraska winters rival those in Michigan

L Milton Hankins October 5, 2022 at 9:16 AM I do not envy those who suffer through a midwestern winter. I remember my years in St. Louis. Ghastly weather! Totally unpredictable! Still, on a Saturday night, I can recall driving snow-covered streets to get to the disco. I was young and stupid then!
