onus

So.  A long time ago, I promised a snow poem.

And seeing as National Poetry Month is almost over, I finally got around to writing it.

Part of this delay is due to other things in life (read: the life of an engineer is not conducive to poetry) and also, you really have to be in a particular mood to write a poem.  I tried a few times unsuccessfully to get this down.  But today in statics class, it slipped out onto the paper. :)

Here goes:

Perfection

Snow falls overnight

And we awaken

To a new perfection.

The flawless landscape shivers

And bows

Deep beneath this new burden.

The morning sun arrives to bare the world,

The snow begins to melt

And the trees begin to weep-

drip. drip. drip.

As their sweet burden of perfection

Is lifted.

So...there you are. :)
