Notes About The Poem

image from Foxweather.com

“One of the worst winter storms to hit the United States in years is developing right now. More than a foot of snow is forecast to bury some states, while freezing rain and sleet are expected to grind travel to a halt and knock out power to thousands of people. This colossal winter storm starts its 2,000+ mile journey in the Plains today and will reach America's East Coast by Sunday. Cities such as New York, Washington, Atlanta, and Dallas are gearing up for what is expected to be an extreme winter storm that will deliver a one-two punch of snow/ice and life-threatening cold air.” (Source: Fox News Weather)

WINTER STORM FERN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fern's frozen fingers
scrape the eaves, each gust a hymn~
a banshee howling.
the powerlines hum low grief,
while snow-blind streets hold their breath.
