State Of Emergency

By Cynthia Jones, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetryandshortstories10    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

We got another storm yesterday
third one in less than a week,
it's a repeat of last Winter
the days are looking rather bleek.

Another storm is on the way
over a hundred thirty centimetres so far,
running out of room to put the snow
people trying to shovel out their cars.

No parking on the streets is allowed
or the vehicles will get towed,
snow banks are getting very high
at a stand still we are, with snow covered roads.

The winds were extremely high last night
light snow being whipped around,
freezing temperatures and being blinded
while snow quickly fell to the ground.

Snow drifts in the yard
grow higher with every storm,
I am staying in the house
where I can stay toasty warm.

Maybe I can close my eyes tightly
and not watch the storms pass me by,
hope Spring will show up soon
while the drifts keep reaching for the sky.

Our city called for a State of Emergency last night and it's lasted all day today. The city just put the grader on my street a few hours ago. A lot of the city streets, are only down to one lane driving. The weather is calling for another 2-5 centimetres tomorrow and another Nor' Easter comes up behind it, for Thursday and Friday. Another 40 centimetres or more is expected for those two days. They've reported it could last a week or more.
