Poetic Journey - Enough Already

We are rather spoiled in the state of New Mexico.Seldom do we have whole days of inclement weather. Storms sprout over the mountains, dump rain or snow, and move on. The Albuquerque Journal, when I was a kid, kept a count of the days of sunshine each year. And since the sun seemed to shine for at least a part of every day it became quite boring to read the little column.

Yesterday it snowed all day and it is forecast to do the same today. And into Wednesday. Cabin fever begins to set in. So having written no new poem I unearthed the following from my archives. The dreaded winter of 2007.

Enough already

Another!
Cold and windy day
Unpleasant in the extreme
Even if the sun is shining
But bringing no
Warmth
Upon the cold
Snow clad earth

I sat
Morosely at my window
Watching the drifts of snow
Grow
Clouds of white ice
Crystals
Slithering over the banks
Chilling the day
Robbing
The joy

Go Away
Awful weather
Let winter abate a day or two or three
But no
Says the weatherman
Tomorrow
More of the same
