CAMELOT FANTASIES

Broken twigs from ice covered limbs
Trees made missed takes that spring
Was hours away
Onslaught of torrential rains
Plummeting sub zero temperatures
Followed by hail
Mixed with sleet and snow
Weekend spent as power outages
Made their way
Affected by the crazed weather
In candlelight and open flame
Of gas stoves

Slipping and sliding across
Sheets of ice thick on the roads
And sidewalks
Salt unable to crack through the ice
Crusted snow
Ice picking to create cracks
A sure fire workout
Lifting and crashing ice to smithereens
No small feat

April is nestled in the Spring season
Yet winter borrowed a weekend
To show us mere mortals
That we have nothing under control
Nothing at all
