Notes About The Poem

Three inches of snow have fallen in Chicago this morning...

Such a Blessing

Snow in April, such a blessing
   Tender shoots and flowers caressing

With Nature's design, surely messing
   Heavy flakes of white coalescing

I pray this snowfall is merely evanescing
   A kind of freakish 'Easter window dressing'
    ~ else a meteorologist's prank, I'm guessing...

In Saskatchewan, any moisture is good moisture. Have a great day my friend.

I'm trying! (to have a great day), but this 'moisture' just won't let me. I may actually have to shovel my sidewalk and path when I get home from work. Ugh! ~ gw

Me too, actually... As the late, great Yogi Berra put it: "You can observe a lot just by watching!" LOL... Spring is welcome back here anytime!! ~ Gershon
