Notes About The Poem

Snow is forecast for Thursday night (Nov. 8) in Chicago...

Old Man Winter

The earth lies still; trees are bare
   A hint of frost is in the air
Brittle leaves are swept away
   By wind-gusts set in skies so gray 

The ground shivers, right through my bones
   Summer's heart transformed to stone
Old Man Winter's set foot in town
   Soon to every living thing surround
