wherever you look
frozen in time
blanketed in ice
covered by rhime
everything is closed
traffic is light
sometimes people fall
it's really a sight
ice slowly melting
end of the cold
it was nice to have
winter unfold
-----------------------------------------------------------
slippin and a slidin
trippin and a fallin
ow landed on my rear end
now i am a bawlin
-----------------------------------------------------------
the entire north texas area was
blanketed by up to three inches
of sleet and freezing rain on
monday night; schools and many
businesses closed (including
our restaurant!), traffic was
a nightmare for many motorists,
and a delight for many children
who got a break from school (or
a curse to those who suddenly
found themselves sitting down
unexpectedly).
the library's been closed due
to the inclement weather, that's
why you haven't seen me or my
twin sister, karen lynn. we're
at a neighbor's today...but fix-
ing to have to go. we've enjoy-
ed this winter wonderland...even
though we've both sat down hard
a couple of times (don't worry,
we're okay!). :)
glad we could experience the icy fun together; and glad we didn't hurt ourselves when we fell! a good write about a storm that will live on in our memory for a long time to come! love, your twin, karen lynn. (((HUGS))) :)
I loved this poem!
