Now, Falls the Snow

Heavy laden this mix of rain and early March snow
  listing in the wind down to the un-expecting earth below.
At first, a barely visible mix, cold and chilling throws
  where once peeking daffodils and tulips grow.

A tease set deep upon the earth
  when spring was thought to be rebirthed
but now comes the wind, the chill, the bitter cold
  blinding white scenes of stories of old.

Children will remember this
  where ice and snow chiseled an icy kiss
and footholds are carefully tread
  beneath the trees snapped and widely spread.

A flash of light, untethered blue
  followed by  thundered rumbled stew
snow thunder heralds loud and through
  the fall of eight inch drifts accrued.

March surprise, entered in like a lion glidinf
  storm adventures brewing undenying
wait for the warm, chill factor disappearing
  spring will return with  blessings more endearing.

Love the poem, love the beauty of the snow, and that's as far as I will go. The shivering and brrr-ing all yours. Me you'll find indoors until it thaws... brr... Mick
