SUNDIAL SHARES: "Snow" and "Blizzard" by Charlotte Yates

Snow

White flakes fluttering down

From the bright, blue sky

To the sun and the wind

The snow will not comply

(*click headline to read more)

Daunting but gentle

A quietly built fleet

The pile of snow

Builds up at your feet

A powdery blanket

Covers the ground

Dusting the town

Without a sound

And I just think

That it’s quite nice

To revel in the beauty

Of crystallized ice

Blizzard

The icy wind

Unleashes an attack

Stabbing like needles

Through the coat on your back

You feel yourself shiver

As you already know

You never can win

Against the raging snow

The storm is violent

And will not comply

Despite any bribe

Or bargain to pacify

That’s why you’re glad

When you open the door

And the mere sight of home

Warms you to the core
