South Texas Blizzard

. SOUTH TEXAS BLIZZARD The biting cold of early March's freeze fell from the Arctic northlands down the main, and froze to death the larks beneath the trees then silently it crept the Kansas plain. It slowed the pace of life to just a walk for busy Texans on the Rio Grande and failing citrus was the stuff of talk until the blowing snow was close at hand; they slipt and slid on farmways coated twice unwilling to admit they didn't know how one should drive a Lexus on this ice or where-from blizzards come and where they go. The rattle snake is burrowed safe and deep the only place that's warm enough for sleep. © ron wilson aka veebdosathe Doylestown Poet
