Plain White

first, recognize options.
so the snow falls?
so your car resembles
a bump midstream, its snout
a glob of ice cream?
measured in feet, flakes pile on,
the football metaphor a rumbling hush.
step out, hear the calm, only scraping
shovels grate their response
to limbo.
lifting your knees completes
your intent, yellow buses huffing while children
plunge into drifts of fluff, the last thing
visible their backpacks of pink.

Silky smooth, this one, Larry, with a peaceful, muted tone that matches your subject. Wonderful sense of ambience and the shrouding haitus of suspended animation... am I missing a deeper drift of meaning here... a more political one?! My mind is pretty much a snowflake most of the time... Calming, thank you - until you tell me it's about a gas attack!! LOL Kate xx ... And with "Feather", the gym I go to is also used by national athletes in training, so exercising hard often DOES produce similar effects to "playing" hard sometimes!! Endorphins are always in good supply, like a rush of blood to the head!

Now I have a perfect description of the type of snow that hit us in 1996.
