ode to snow




The snow falls sideways, blowing from rooftops in billowy sheaths. 
 
My windchime sounds a muted song, metal chilled by snow.
 
The dogs are wary to venture outside, paw prints staying close to the house.
 
When I dared to go out, hoping to capture a few pictures I was met with disdain from a hummingbird perched in the cherry tree.  I cleared snow off of his feeder and hurried back inside, not even looking back to see if he cared.


I cannot now seem to draw my eyes from the snowglobe out my window.  It is a beauty we rarely see.
