It's Valentine's Day
And I can't walk out my door.
Still, the sun is shining.
And I can't walk out my door.
Still, the sun is shining.
A squirrel and shadows
Are rippling through the tree limbs;
Lawn is flat and white.
Are rippling through the tree limbs;
Lawn is flat and white.
Scraping of snow plows;
Mailbox overturned on snow--
Winter artifacts.
Mailbox overturned on snow--
Winter artifacts.
.
In the blank white field
A single stalk pokes through the snow
Casting its shadow.
A single stalk pokes through the snow
Casting its shadow.
Driveway is no more
A palette of dark shadows
Shifts subtly on it.
A palette of dark shadows
Shifts subtly on it.
Tops of the fence posts
Peeking over the snow banks
Almost disappear.
Peeking over the snow banks
Almost disappear.
The roaring snow plow
Carves a clear swath on the road;
Leaves only gas fumes.
Carves a clear swath on the road;
Leaves only gas fumes.
A billowing wind
Reaches from the inner woods
Swirling on the road.
Reaches from the inner woods
Swirling on the road.
