An Early Icy Morning Poem by Marilyn Lott

It was an early icy morning
As I went out for a stroll
I saw it was pretty obvious
Mother Nature took her toll

My face felt numb and tingly
As I took my morning walk
Grass was cold and stiff
Ice claimed every single stalk

Water tried to pour off fences
But froze on its downward drip
When I looked at a thermometer
I realized how low it had dipped

I saw a little cow decoration
That was hanging on a line
It had ice laced all around it
It was frozen now in time

The bird bath full of crystals
Was white like a bowl of snow
A place where not a single bird
Would ever want to go

It’s that time of year, folks
For our winter icy storms
You’d better bundle up well
So you can stay nice and warm!
