Where's the Snow?

A poem about the lack of snow in Upstate New York today.

By Madison "Maddy" NewtonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I sit by the window and think

of the white powder in which my feet used to sink.

My boots longingly remember

the beautiful wintery Decembers

that passed by before I could blink.

    Nicely elegiac and wistful. I wish it made me miss the snow, but we're having lake effect squalls today and the stuff has come back to Southern Ontario with a vengeance. At least the wind keeps sweeping it off the driveway so I don't have to fire up Blowy McBlowface (the snowblower)!
