Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Berating winds forecast the storm.
Temperatures drop in accordance to its coming.
Speculations are for days and deep.
I am eager with anticipation
for the great snowfall.
I have nowhere calling me.
Time is mine to enjoy
the white ballet
Be it light or dark
when the crystals dance,
they will still captivate me.

There is nothing as captivating as the ground being covered with with a blanket of snow. What makes it even more captivating is being able to not have to be out in it unless you really want to.

I liked the whole concept of the "White Ballet" Miss Lori.

You pay attention to what's around you and have a unique perspective in your expressions of what you see, what you don't see and what you want to see.

That's poetry in my book!


Okay, that takes care of the soap. Now then, you wished for it, so break out your shovel and earn your keep sister!

Snow is pretty if you don't have to do anything in it but angels and snowmen and have snowball fights. I never liked to ride along in it.

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.
