I Love Poems

A Winter Walk

In the evening
I set off for the village
feeling the snow gently
brush past
listening to chained tires
slap the road
with a pleasant beat
that future bands will create
street lamps emit
a ghost like glow
lonely sentinels
against the dark
now all is quiet
as I make new tracks
which no one ever followed

It is all pretty. Until I have to shovel out my car. I am NOT looking forward to those days.

I don't blame ya, we don't get that much over here.

We get a few heavy snows in mid to late winter. I live in an apartment so do not have a snow blower. I still shovel it out. But I grew up in a more snowy place, so am used to it. I still hate it, but I am used to it.

@JoyfulSilence: Me too, I grew up in North Carolina. When I was a kid I stepped out of my grandma's house with snow up to my knees!!! 😮

I grew up on the plains of Ohio. But I live on the Maryland piedmont now.
