Today
the meteorologists
were wrong.
The expected whiteout
swung south,
our streets salted,
but dry.
I pack away
in tissue paper
my anticipation,
my fluttering hope
until the next time
a call for snow
tilts my universe.

I love the look of your blog and the simplicity of your poem. “I pack away in tissue paper” is my favorite line.

I am starting my Sunday by returning to Saturday slicers who posted after me and I found YOU! You describe SO well our anticipation of that “snow event” that totally missed us! And did it so well in a poem!
