We have just had a major storm
with freezing rain and ice galore
breaking limbs and damaging trees
the worst we have had in our memories
we usually get this once a year
with ice and snow making us fear
not wanting to go out in the stuff
to sit inside and watch is enough
usually, it is just snow
a couple of inches which is the low
accompanied by a lot of frost
temperatures so cold that all is lost
driving is a hazardous task
going slow and not very fast
hoping to stay on the road
otherwise, we could end up towed
just as suddenly as it begun
a couple days later out comes the sun
and the ice and snow all disappear
the green grass shows bright and clear
and a few more days of Nature’s warm
and though the trees may now be deformed
with broken branches here and there
as Nature does the damage share
and Man is left to clean the mess
that Nature caused and not in jest
hopefully this has come and gone
and we will be able to carry on
with the life that we know
without this winter’s ice and snow.
