Long Snowplows Poems

There are actual people
half woman half man
running mornings and
dream people in movies
half language half light.
Tomorrow is John’s funeral.

This is my minute
my moment
Oops, gone!

Anything can happen
if you don’t resist
Resist!

But who am I? You think bullets won’t
kill?...

The air is turning bitter cold,
the sky a darkened gray.
Trees are now devoid of leaves,
the wind's blown them away.

Soon the flakes of snow will fall,
landscape turning white.
Look across the field,see the deer,
my eyes beheld the...

Winter has come and snowflakes fly
In winds beyond normality 
Creating drifts above one’s head,
Exercising muscles

To get our driveways cleared of snow,
The walkway and our doorways too
Around the house, the shed and all
After the storm has...

Old Man Winter has arrived, his boots placed firmly on the ground.
A vulgar display of wealth, assets scattered all around.

A robust distortion of nature, his domination now takes the stage.
With oversight and command, correspondence now...

When autumn leaves on tree branches disappear
And chilly winds spoil outdoor fun
The warmth of a fireplace beckons me to draw near
That’s winter to me.

When snowflakes blanket streets with a hush,
And snowplows, cars, shovels and rubber...

Winds rattle the windows
     while babes are asleep;
Cows traverse the fields
     through snow that's knee deep.
Chickens are in the coup
     surrounded by straw,
They...

Squirrels with nuts winters snowflakes floating! On the ground,
Nights with no lights seen glittering and glowing! On the ground.

Trees barren with heavy snow while squirrels still searching, snowplows roaring down the road whooshing the snow...

WINTER

The trees are heavy draped with snow,
the sky is white instead of blue;
mountains of snow hide the landscapes,
twittering birds have flown away.

The sky is white instead of blue,
and sun is hidden beneath clouds;
I miss the...

The Anticipation of Snow
David J Walker

No matter how old I grow 
The anticipation of snow
Beckons the memories of my feet
Deep in rubber boots 
We called galoshes 
Stepping into a virgin white
World of crisp cold 
The...

Snow is gently creating pure white,
pretty filigree snowflakes drift,
they are twirling and dancing,
trees trimmed so elegant, 
yet, the birds still sing,
and life goes on,
in my town,
way up,
north.

But,
in parts
so nasty,
like the up town,
snowplows are clearing,
all...

Sweet songbirds sing no cheerful refrains;
complete silence greets Winter's approach.
Bittersweet; Autumn colors forecast
sleet as Winter storms start to encroach.

Barbecue grills safely stowed away;
blue skies get dappled with clouds of grey.
Mildew spreading among rotting leaves;
Deja vu...

The Joy of Living in the North

By Elton Camp

No greater joy can some people know
Than living in the land of ice and snow

They haven’t the slightest fear
Of a far-below-zero temperature

Snow will fall both day and...

Soon come snow-packed ridges
Slippery trails along frosted lanes
Warnings of danger on our bridges,
Blizzards sweeping o’er the plains.

Blustery morns, wind chill factors
Slippery trails along frosted lanes
Snowplows mounted on big tractors
On a lighter note, candy canes!

Bundling against...

THE BLIZZARD AND THE CITY

The wind-blown snow went whirling by!
The drifts piled up so very high!
The avenue was changed to a rural road. 
The pines could hardly bare their load.

The city vanished under a blanket...

The winter storm had gathered strength
  And Its  fury was  felt through  its breadth and length
            As snowflakes flew ...
