Notes About The Poem

Entered September 8, 2026
In The Contest, “September Challenge: Tritina”
Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

Time To Pause

This dreary day, cold winter brings a storm;  
the snowflakes densely falling, fine and fast,     
with frenzied pace and not a single pause.   

Most all who could, stayed home to take a pause.  
Closings declared, this day's ruled by the storm, 
and time slows down while snow is falling fast.
  
The snow fluffs its white blanket full and fast,
while I sit by my window as I pause-
and catch my breath behind this frantic storm. 

Today's storm, driving fast, grants time to pause.
