Listen to poem:
Snowfall In July
Snowfall in July
David J Walker
What if today
Is just the extension of
Another summers day to
Remember a Decembers snowfall
The subtle absurdity of snow
Shaking like the glitter
Of a snow globe on
A sunny summer Sunday
That could be any day in July
July is hot and dry
Except in the perverse figment of
A writers imagination of
A snowstorm in summer
I am anxious
to see if winter is really
willing to return tomorrow
With wind and snow
On a darkened
August afternoon
That ironically freezes
and sunburns my fingers and cheeks
I am keen on examining
Ice crystal formations
On cracked window pains
In refracted light that
I am sure I have
Examined before
How would they
How could they
Know that
No two snowflakes
Are alike but lacking in
The imagination of a summer
Snowstorm waiting for
Another winter to return and
Continue Snowflake research
What if the gathering
summer storms have been
forming forever on the far
Horizon in a warmer climate
With monogrammed thunder and
Autographed lightening designed
Long before we were born
There is only sad romance in
A freezing rain no matter
When or where it falls
What if it never snows again
