It Snowed.

Loading ...It snowed today, yes as forecast
But there was no prediction.
No commitment…
To a dusting like Castor sugar on a cake,
Or a blizzard white out that will last.
So it snowed…
Last week there was a meteor shower,
Sure the BBC had the news
But no mention here that I heard.
As it turned out it was obscured by mist,
Nothing to be seen as the wonder passed.
The last time the sky was active,
Was the occlusion of Venus by the crescent moon.
No warning in the papers about it,
Just that the space shuttle might be visible.
A grainy B/W photo in the paper like the week past.
So it snowed…
Just enough to make travel dangerous,
Just enough to dampen gloves and boots.
The mutt ran round the yard chasing flakes,
The cat unimpressed behind double glazing,
From her chair a mere noting glance cast.
Everyone knows that a snowflake is unique
But do you know that they grow as they fall?
Unique, unique, how many times changed?
I found this out recently from TV.
A flake to the power of N till it rests at last.
So it snowed…
It snowed and I was cold as I knew I would.
There was no need of prediction.
No commitment…..that’s true.
Just a dusting of Castor sugar, not enough,
To sweeten the white out that will last.
Whenever possible I buy blank greeting cards and write my own messages. It always feels good to create from my heart. I believe poetry is all around, in every thing and action and spontaneous speech. Renewed by the human spirit's appreciation of beauty and goodness. There is no unchanging standard that can reside in perfection in books rarely read.
I am a husband and father of 2. Starting to write down before forgetting.
Know what I like when I've read it, trying to get to grips with photography.
Gentleman of leisure, not uneducated, all spelling and grammar errors I lay upon my eyesight.
It snowed and I was cold as I knew I would.
There was no need of prediction.
No commitment…..that’s true.
Just a dusting of Castor sugar,
Not enough to sweeten the white out that will last.
Loved the above para…
Beautifully written and I must say that you are in your best form…
Keep writing and let it flow…
