Reds, then oranges, is this the
Prelude to snowstorm?"

Am I crying because of cold,
or it's still winter?"

Discouraging flakes of snow,
Where is the springtime??"

Wasn't I just wondering
Why winter in March?"

Blowing my hood off, snowing,
Winter in March, why?"

Today I understand why,
Nell does not heel well."

Sloshing through the slushy snow,
Feed the chickens corn."

My thighs and cheeks are quite numb,
My nose is running."

Snow banks dirty with plowed snow,
In between the calm."

and she's fertilizing shrubs,
Beautiful morning."

Roadways clear, pink and grey sky,
Calm before snow storm."

Big snowflakes land as we walk,
Rusty, Nell and I."

Dead chicken cattle panel,
No lambs to be seen."

Puddles galore to drink from,
Silent and warm house."

We skate down driveway,
Ice in road scary to walk,
Fog hides school bus lights.

So cold, tears run down my cheeks,
Bus driver stops, chats.

Walking backwards, lean in wind,

Winter October morning,
Tears flowing from cold.

eleven miles from Mickie's,
Here is a drink cup.

Feather from gull fluttering,
Refreshingly cool."
