This day so blustery and white of sky
thick with clouds damp of air is
purported to be mostly sunny
a bright yellow image pictured thus
accompanied by a balmy temperature
and yet a thoughtful glance at both the
calendar and the real world suggests
snow falling thickly in piles and drifts
mountains of it covering All
a thing we have not seen once
in this winter of 2011-2012
a milquetoast winter if ever
there has been one.
