Autumn’s fading peace

Winter’s renewing lease

 

One lonely snowflake

More coming at daybreak

 

Sky fills with more snow

Sunshine, morning’s no-show

 

Snow’s depth keeps growing

Wind wakes up, now blowing

 

Light powder sifting

Definitely drifting

 

Traffic hurries home

Under low-pressure dome

 

Drivers surrender

With each fender bender

 

Life’s pace slowing down

Snowstorm parks, all around

 

Forecast calls for more

Snowplows called out to war

 

Surfing waves of white

Under wintry twilight

 

Empty classrooms sleep

Children shall never weep

 

Nighttime dreams complete

Will tomorrow repeat?
