REPORT: February 2, 2021

No shadows this year, no light sharpening shapes.

Instead, tracks of a fox bounding

through belly-deep snow across the unplowed drive

into the pinewoods edged with bramble

where the rabbits hide. West wind drifts the snow.

Sun and moon rise and set behind the clouds.

March Prompts #3: MARCH SNOW

MARCH SNOW

This snowstorm’s not exactly late,

In fact, they happen all the time.

This sort of thing’s what we expect

For living in a Northern clime.

Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean

It’s something we appreciate–

Wouldn’t it be more comforting

If winter had a closing date?
