the winds howl, lightening followed by thunder roar,
the house shaken violently to its foundation core.
snow laden pines sway to wind’s unabated force,
this wintery night is taking a viciously charted course.
sparkling crystal droplets of moisture reflect street lantern light,
their unbridled, swirling dance making for a wondrous sight delight
offsetting the harsh storm drama being played out this night,
abating even a shaken pet cat’s spontaneous fright.
cast in frozen watery cocoon of snow and ice,
all nature’s creation left clutched in winter’s vice,
defying its foreboding the picture created being visually nice,
it remains an experience not want to see happen twice.
