We were told to expect snow Snow, again. Greeted by crisp hope and freezing air We waited… Dogs sniffed the air and each other Hawks sat and wrapped themselves in feathered shawls Discreet expectations Anticipations of broken routines that might Hold us captive to our homes Caressed by comforting teas and naughty cakes It didn’t snow. Still, we stayed Home Held the dogs Surrendered to self-imposed captivity

Snowed In Anyway
We were told to expect snow Snow, again. Greeted by crisp hope and freezing air We waited… Dogs sniffed the air and each other Hawks sat and wrapped themselves in feathered shawls Discreet expectations Anticipations of broken routines that might Hold us captive to our homes Caressed by comforting teas and naughty cakes It didn’t snow. Still, we stayed Home Held the dogs Surrendered to self-imposed captivity
don't you love things that make you stay home...sometimes?
