The Weary Winter Snow

The snow white blanket glistening so brightly all around has grown so very tired as the winter's winding down. Oh how we long for Springtimes' sun to smile about the place to melt the weary winter snow and wash its' dirty face. But when the old and forlorn snow has melted we shall find we'll curse all of the Springtime mud that it will leave behind. This was inspired by Moggie, the woman I was aid and companion to, when she was commenting on the dirty snow and said someone should write a poem about it. I wrote this for her and I wanted to share this with you. RG

drop the 1st that hon, & chnage the 2nd one to something else...ex. which Winter's sand has left behind.....or something maintaining the 8/6 meter of most of the lines. (Good one for Bonsai Dreams) Love Debbie

So much truth in this one, though I'd much rather have the mud than the below zero temps we've had in North Dakota lately. Good title. Nice dedication. Keep on writing! Karen

The rhyme is absolutely perfect and the irony in this is humorous and so clearly expressed. A perfect write. Michael
