Winter Storm

Deep white fluffy flakes** **   *  
on a downward spiral fall* *     *   *
spitting cold icy pellets                     *       
as the storm crept in                * *   *
increasing in speed           *     *       *   
whistling around corners       *    **
blinding eyesight              * *     *     *  
creating a whirlwind             * *    *    *              
of white rotating fluff         *    *    *  *
those brave enough          *  *   **     **
to face the outdoors         *       * *    **
were bombarded by           **   *  **  *
frigid darting weaponry.                 *

G'day Phyllis … A nice picture poem about what I was pleading for on Friday. I think the sun snuck down and rested in our back yard although we didn't make 110F like many others - thank you Phyllis - Lindsay
