Winter Weather Advisory

Category: My Poetry

take note

cold and scary weather is headed your way

run to Lowe’s or Home Depot

stock up on generators, firewood,

maybe some water, and flashlights

of course you should always buy bread

 

the reporters fan out across the state

stoking the anxiety levels

stay off the roads

stay indoors

stay tuned to us

 

the snow came

floating down

laying itself on the wintered grass

whitening the roof tops

falling snow for three hours

melting snow thereafter

no snow at all by afternoon

 

glad I didn’t buy a generator

    It’s great. I work at a grocery store. I see everyone rush in to buy eggs, milk, and bread, like there won’t be any way to leave the house for the next few weeks. If the news says anything about snow at all, everyone comes rushing in.

    It’s so true.

    So true. The panic always amuses me.

    Very apt for the time of the year and the current weather. Very effectively captured too
