197 Words For Snow

The wind is my enemy
The rain is my enemy
The wind is my enemy
Are you my friend?

The sleet is my enemy
The cold is my enemy
The snow is my enemy
Are you my friend?

The snowflakes fall fast
And fill the night sky
A spiraling dementia
For a Friday commute

The flash and the boom
The strobe and the crash
Lightning, then thunder
And through it more snow

The measures get shorter
As the storm gets closer
The flash and the boom
The strobe and the crash

The cold is my enemy
The snow is my enemy
The wind is my enemy
Are you my friend?

Sunshine on a Saturday
An arctic blast blows the clouds to the east
Leaving a blinding glare and prisms of ice
My breath hangs frozen
Before floating away

I pull my muffler
Close to my face
First moist, then wet
Then frozen in place

Shovel the snow
Crack the ice
Salt the steps
So very nice

Whatever did possess us
To come so far north?
I'm going back to Borneo
An old man of the forest
To swing through the trees
With a belly full of fruit

I'm sick of snow
Why don't you take a warm shower?
Meh
It'll make you feel better.
I'll be out of the bathroom in March.

Did you talk to your mom?
Yeah, she's ok
But there were people stuck on Lake Shore Drive for 18 hours.
That thunder snow is some freaky stuff.
