Buckets Of Snow Poem by Marilyn Lott

The snow came down in buckets
Measured in yards instead of feet
Days and days it fell steadily
After while it was not a treat

The children didn’t worry though
About going to school right then
And in some places it’s typical
While in others it’s not a trend

Snow sculptures were everywhere
White on white was the scheme
Nature seemed to play a joke
With its freezing white-out theme

Electricity was out wherever I went
Power lines were simply crippled
Stopped still and frozen in time
Emergencies nearly tripled

Winter was here – oh yes it was
And it looked like it’d stay forever
There seemed to be no relieve in sight
Mother Nature acting so clever

But, we’ll dig our way out soon I hope
And time will pass without fail
But we sure are waiting patiently
For spring time to unveil!
