Snow

Early morning    -     snow scattering
Landscape of white  -   sun reflecting
But not for long  -    soon it’s melting

During the night  -  freezing of sludge
Rough surface walk  -   bit of a trudge
Rock salt on top    -     colour of fudge

Now on the path  -  thin layer of snow
Hiding unseen      -     black ice below
Without warning   -   down you will go

Dark cloud above   -   now lots of rain
Last of the snow  -  all down the drain
Early evening    -     fresh snow again.

Spring on its way Tony, we've been lucky down here and have apart from a couple of days escaped it. Tom
