BLIZZARD OF JANUARY 2011

Snow gently falling

down

deceptively beautiful and yet deadly

each and every flake unique.

Trillions of flakes become

a blizzard as they dance to the

howling of the wind that

slashes through the heavy winter clothing

of those brave enough or foolish enough

to venture outside.

Walking is difficult, seeing is impossible

in wind-driven white

that buries everything in its way.

On the road drivers

flirt with death as their

vehicles slide

totally out of control

like bumper cars gone wild.

Death by snow is not the way to go.
