#blustery
when blizzards rage and howling
arctic winds did blow
profuse precipitation packed Philadelphia
til white aery mountains did over flow
meteorological heft wrought pinkish glow
polygons pin wheeled and pirouetted
landscape imprint pure as driven snow
diminution of visual acuity
accrued from two score plus nineteen birthdays
still marvel at freeze-dried raindrops
reaction toward crystalline phenomena
continues to grow
kaleidoscope of multitudinous
hydrospheric blitz krieg terrestrial show
metaphor wrapped in supreme whiteness
from singular entities high to low
mother nature imbues testament
teaches to offer self for world to know
as corporeal of flesh and blood
we forget identity among human row
subtle riddle well hidden in molecule
two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen in tow
offer quiet sermon to cherish beliefs
and personal paradigms vis a vis status quo.

In no way am I ready
for the bluster of winter
the deep freeze
and the ceasing of all things
green and growing
In no way am I prepared
for endless days of cold
the chill inside my house
and the greyness of the skies
for months on end
In no way am I ready
and yet
undaunted in the end
I am unwilling
to give up
