Spring Blizzard

Eleven horses traipsed single file toward home The scudding clouds threw a snowflake now and then A Brown bear sniffed the air and looked toward his den the mountain emptied The accumulation is but a handful Shallow depth pushed against a pine tree base But the flakes grew bigger as the skies darkened a whiteness emerged A wind from nowhere pushed the flakes sideways The first blizzard of the year was in full blow As inches turn to feet in no time at all the world disappeared Soon the sun arose and then the wind vanished Silence ruled the whiteness without and within As the blizzard had roared of its displeasure the universe slept 7-11-20 Contest: Strand Completely new (8) Sponsor:Brian Strand
