People up north would probably think my city was crazy, running around in two inches of snow. But when it hardly ever happens, it’s kind of wonderful. At least until it put out power for half the city!
Snow in Central Texas
The news says it’s the first real snow in thirty years
(people instantly leap to debate it)
The night sky sifting powdered sugar
magical
coating green grass and leaves sweetly
in a dusting of white
but
evaporating on pavement and cement
Drifting down until everything is frosted
pale
glittering
cold
And then next morning, the sun rose
and slowly it melted away
the winter wonderland dissolving in sunlight
like fairy gold
with one last surprise–the trees dripping rain
(plink plink plink)
under bright, sunny skies

It was quite a surprise, indeed. 😀
