Did you take this picture? It seems to me the east coast always have more snow that the middle west. My husband and I are happily enjoying the 10 inches of snow. We have been skiing for a week on the north shore of Lake Superior.
Hope you can go grocery shopping soon.
Well done.

Smiling, I miss the snow skiing years. This poem was a reflection of years ago,when we lived near the slopes of mount Rainier in Western Washington.
Comment from John Ciarmello
Oh, my goodness! I pray that isn't your car, my friend. This was well put together, from the poetry to the artwork. I hated looking at the snow on that car, but every season has its drawbacks! Best, JohnC

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your great picture plus well-chosen words paired perfectly,
JLR. You handled the style well. Your words painted a great
picture for readers. Your lines flowed smoothly except line
2 needs 1 more syllable to make 10. I like snow but enough
is enough.
Thanks for participating, Jan

Comment from Paul McFarland
Portents of what's to come. We used to get snowstorms like that years ago, but lately things have been on the quiet side. Like you, I don't have the strength to shovel that stuff at my age.

Comment from Karyn2
Thank you so much for introducing me to Rispetto! I enjoyed your poem. The days and years certainly seem to go by faster as the years blur on! I like the use of "vim" and "pep' two excellent word choices I wouldn't necessarily think to use but so much is conveyed in these single syllabic words. A little edit in "strength" misspelled (I switch my th all the time when I type quickly!) Really well done.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I love the flow here and you used your metre well to create this magical poem. I just have one suggestion for this line as it is short of a syllable and the metre is slightly off.
"the snow piles deep, my back aches are real."
"the snow piles deep, my aching back is real"
Much enjoyed,
Love Dolly x
