Not Too Cold Yet
The season's first snow
fell today
just a dusting but enough
to excite.
The kids and dogs
dashed about
delighting in the
new found flakes,
cold but
not too cold yet.
On the other side
of the world
the day's first drones
struck today.
The kids and dogs.
dashed about
but no one
was delighted;
the dead
cold but
not too cold yet.
Revised 9/8/2014; first written soon after 11/09/2001. I changed a specific county to 'the other side of the world' and 'missiles' to 'drones', but not much else has changed.
