Snowstorm

SNOWSTORM Now the wind’s invisible hand Can be seen across the land With finger, arm and wrist She’ll grasp and she’ll twist The airborne masses swirled - Those princes of the icy world - And wrestle them to the ground, Piled in a graceless mound Together, where they huddle And give up the struggle - Pale, white, lily-livered - From the sky-battle finally delivered, Surrendering their white flag, Cowardly white feathers sag. Their invisible foe now laughing and shrieking In the trees at the mayhem she’s been wreaking. …………………………………………………………………………………………… Note: Today in a snowstorm, it suddenly struck me that I could “see” the normally invisible wind, by the movement of snowflakes. Sometimes the obvious is amazing to me.

Love your use of rhyme here to describe the way wind takes on an appearance when it snows. Same can be true for rain or trees that bend in a hurricane. Well done, Syd! Love, Carolyn
