Snowbound

Bright afternoon blues began to darken

Winter’s cold blanket prepares to descend

Snowflakes twirling and dancing, at first glance

Ol’ Man Winter, with a message to send

Grandfather clock proclaims each passing hour

Intricate flakes, magnified in their size

Winter’s harsh intensity growls and howls

Like a hungry wolf, seeking his one prize

Outside, barren landscape feels overwhelmed

Pristine white now nature’s color tonight

Modest cabin remains toasty and warm

Ancient kitchen stove consumes wood all night

Staying indoors, cozy and safe

Snowy frenzy roars, no ending in sight

Minutes turn to hours, forwarding to days

Snowbound but home, never a hopeless plight

  I appreciate you reading. It has been quite awhile since I felt even close to being snowbound.

    We were snowbound for three days in early Feb. That was before our dear neighbor got his snowplow/tractor.

Oh my, what a lovely poem. Yup, when we’re snowbound, but we’re home and the house is warm and the fridge is stocked, it’s never hopeless. Especially if you’re blessed as we are with a generous neighbor who has a great big tractor/snow plow!
