The storm raged in over night <br />Yes, nature had a plan <br />It brought terrible conditions <br />For plant, or beast, or man <br /> <br />It came in so very quickly <br />The wind was hard and fierce <br />And when I stepped outside <br />My lungs and face it pierced <br /> <br />Locked in winter's embrace <br />The world was cold and hard <br />Frail dry grass was transformed <br />As I looked out into my yard <br /> <br />The fences were laced with ice cycles <br />Rock solid they were from the cold <br />It was so astounding to watch <br />The winter ice storm unfold <br /> <br />Not a thing was able to move <br />If the wind blew we’d never tell <br />It’s the perfect scene to capture <br />Photographers and artists as well <br /> <br />It’s amazing what nature can do <br />And tomorrow it could be quite warm <br />But for now I’ll take out my camera <br />And capture this fierce winter storm!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fierce-winter-storm/
