Snow poem 1 December 2010


Overnight snow falls, waking
us to a winter wonderland
of everything wrapped white
in crumbly, comfy-soft and
duvet thick blankets of snow
from snow flurries, windswept
and setting in depth as we slept

***
Overnight, snow turns to ice
a walk is a bet, a threat, a dice -
taking a gamble -
a treacherous tumble
a slippery stumble
is on the cards from hard ice
and icy sharp shards
***
Overnight, ice turns to water
marinating, saturating,
muddy and mushy

slushing and flushing
soggy and bogged, sodden
sopping, mopping
and everything waterlogged
