This Rain Shoulda Been Snow
____________________________________________________________________________________________
This rain shoulda been snow
It’s December 20
But it’s sixty degrees
It is disconcerting
I worry for the trees
*
This rain shoulda been snow
The creeks rise once again
noisily tumbling
behind the town’s facade
groaning grumbling
*
this rain shoulda been snow
feet accumulating
softly and silently
muting society –
the rains acts violently
*
This rain shoulda been snow
hoping winter gets cold
that the cold hard rains stop
and the snow starts at last
Please send flake over drop
