Snowy Delight Or Fright

Snow of delight or snow of fright? Bringing forth a world of wintry white. Children sled and play no matter it night or day. In its pleasures they do delight. Spreading limbs wind up and down. An angel’s wings flying without a sound. Rolling giant balls of powder. The children laugh a little louder. Even though, they sometimes flounder. Snow of delight for them. Snow of fright for some men. As they shovel the snow again and again. Canine friends tunnel their way. A lost one looking for the light of day. Wishing for a warmer place to play. Bending the branches of my favorite evergreen. How far can they stand to lean? Will it be nice or mean to my evergreen? How might your scene unfold? Did it make you shiver in the cold? Is it a delight or fright to behold? Richard J. Long (February, 2010) Inspired by Snow apocalypse
