February 21, 2012

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.
