It’s snowing hard today winter won't go away, on a slushy roadway there’s no upswing. The snow builds up slowly smothering roads wholly And I’m feeling lowly, nature's plaything. Not a flower around though snowdrops should abound, their appearance renowned as a wellspring. The birds have no comeback from winter’s late attack, frozen ground is a setback feeding offspring. It is hard to ignore icebergs floating offshore, spring seems more a folklore on the downswing. (Violette) Aug. 23, 2018
