Another snow day tomorrow
Will it be deep or shallow?
Will it stay? Or will it go?
Rain, sleet and snow.
The cold snap is all I know
Will it freeze my breath? Or
Will it freeze me to death?
Rain, sleet and snow.
The wind is grating like the teeth of a cog
It's getting stronger by the hour
Harsh, howling like a midnight wolf
In askance of a maiden's hands.
Precipitating tears of sorrow
Turning snowflakes in ephemeral view
In a fleeting moment, they glide
Downward, hitting the ground
And anywhere they land
By leaps and bounds.
Rain, sleet and snow.
