In the quiet countryside near Yukon <br />Families wait with great anticipation <br />As homes slowly cool without power <br />Cold moves to the entire population <br /> <br />Slowly the inside temperatures drop <br />As people become chilled to the bone <br />Seems all that can be done is to wait <br />As everyone knows they are not alone<br /><br />John McCornack<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fields-of-ice/
