Winter's First Wave Frosty Invasion

Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Frosty Verse Challenge

By Marc OBrienPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Innocent and white

What a sight!

Disappearing flakes descend

An arthritic message they do send

Are we prepared to defend?

Asking when?

This wintry first wave invasion

Secures temporary occupation

Season’s greetings we interpret the situation

Positively welcoming the new

Serving up a complementary bowl of stew

Outside we turn a chilling blue

Hearing about the forecast, unseasonably true

Moist parachuters stick to the ground

Claiming, traveling through our sunshine town

Observing our way of life

Using deceptive tourist tactics, sharp as a knife

Preparing their report

To the leaders housed inside the blizzard fort

Presenting findings

Wishing good tidings

Developing a major snow job

People’s freedom the foul fiends want to rob

I ask you spying frost

Tell your menacing boss

Calculating their meteorology course

And power play force

Summer soon will be here

We enjoy our glass of cheer

Nothing to fear

Except blazing ray spears

Pelting down,

Cooking us brown

Making skin flesh burn

Creating a cancer concern

We then declare

Our other reality loving affair

Tease the frost

Offer discount cost

And cooler days

Shady and grey

Luring frost, come and stay

Then enjoy the enemy’s bitterness melt away

Realizing, weather controls our lives

Until the day we die

That is why

We must cry

Summoning Mother Nature’s unrest

Requesting, be a friend, not a pest
