Today’s poem

THE MIGHTY SNOWFLAKE

Silently falling from dark laden skies Swept on the wind like white angry flies Swooping and settling and covering the town Its weight on the cables starts bringing them down. Roadways are blocked by the deepest of drifts Railways are stopped and nobody shifts. Gritters are out on the road the next day Dodging round cars that were left in the way. More motorists try to get out on the roads Blocking the progress of lorries with loads. Before very long, the jams are too great More of the vehicles are left to their fate. Airports are closed and passengers moan. They can’t fly away or even go home. The airport says sorry, it’s doing its best So please have some patience and try to rest. Amazing how mighty a snowflake can be Disrupting life that was once orderly. A small piece of ice which shows that it can Bring instant chaos to ‘superior’ man.
