It is so unusual for us to have a snow in May and I cannot even remember one in my life here. I sat down and wrote this little story about our morning snow today.
Tree branches bent to the ground
Snow still falling all around
Is this really May
Or an April storm that lost its way
Beautiful purple Iris covered in white
Like a child’s ice cream sundae delight
Daylilies covered with mounds of snow
Make me wonder if they’ll continue to grow
Cherry blossoms encased in white
Denying me their pleasant sight
Overtaxed branches snap and fall
As I sit here gazing at the wonder of it all
It’s so quiet there’s nary a sound
Until a clump of snow falls to ground
Now I have to wait and see
If the rest of spring’s blossoms are to be
