Snowflakes In The Night Hour

It’s about midnight driving home
Snowflakes glimmering under night-lights
None will stick says the weatherman

It’s two am my speech is completed
The snow has ended, and
I’m ready to crash

Thanks Annie

glad you like it. Snow in march is out of the norm here. for some reason I was happy to see it shimmering under the night lights along the road as i was driving home last night. winter has been my enemy for years as my iron was low. now it up and normal and I'm enjoying winter without the tense coldness, pain and stifness. it would be nice to wear my sandles, and go bear legs again. ~~~~~~~~~ If you don't like it, can't talk about it, then write about it. Respectfully Yours, Barbara

oh dear oh dear!

This has much more impact/crash/power than first reading suggests. Powerfully precise use of language. Love it. Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible
