Strange sheets of howling horizontal dirty snow! <br />Hour after hour nature put on her windy vengeful show! <br />Exceptional exhibition with which mere men could not contend! <br />Mortals would not break but in every way bend? <br />Yearning to leave? <br />About such tenuous thoughts were for the hopelessly naive? <br /> <br />Anger by such an overpowering cosmic force! <br />Left each on the isolated frozen island with no recourse! <br />Absent even communication! <br />Staying in their station was the only option in this daily aberration! <br />Knowledge of no change brought no natural reprieve! <br />All would always recall this extended Christmas Eve! <br /> <br />52 42 44.19N 174 06 49.03E<br /><br />Hubert Wilson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dirty-whiteout-christmas/
