Notes About The Poem

Snow Shoveling Safety Tips | Travelers Insurance

Snow Storm

Pellets of snow fall
covering the ground in total white 
Frozen branches in tick tock fashion 
move from side to side 
whipped by  invisible fierce winds;
 
The icy breath of winter 
sits on his cold blue lips 
long gone are the days when he taught 
his children how to make snow angels.  

An old rusted shovel digs deep 
then resurrects itself, followed by a white shower  
of flying ice snow, 
Old man winter has returned with a vengeance 
there is an old tea kettle whistling inside the house 
but he can't hear a thing, only the sound 
of a snow blower as it spurts out more and more 
snow...

"long gone are the days when he taught his children how to make snow angels." Beautiful poetry! Yep, I remember those days well, having lived in much colder climates and now in the blistering desert. For the old bones, I prefer the blistering desert. Blessings.
