Ice Storm

My feelings about the weather currently sweeping the midwest....

Ice is falling

I feel trapped.

Snow is everywhere

Life is sapped.

 

Lights flash

Moment of fear

Still wishing

I could leave here

 

What’s a girl to do

To get back spring

To feel the sun

And hear a bird sing?

 

Well I suppose

The answer to my fate

Nothing I can do

….But sit and wait.

Author's Note

I kept debating about adding another stanza, about the return of spring, but something kept stopping me...I guess because it hasn't happened yet?

Ice stroms are rampant this Winter.. you wrote well your frustration and worry.
I think you were right to leave out a vcerse of Spring as Winter is still so deep ..
Your last verse is indeed the answer for us all.. sit and wait..

An amazing piece of writing. You have captured the very essence of the poem with just few words. I wouldn't add a stanza about the return of spring though. The poem in whole is dealing with the cold weather. I can feel the longing that you have for the return of spring, and it's just perfect as it is.

I don't think it needs another stanza. It's a well done piece. I remember sitting and waiting always for the storm to pass. I don't miss that kind of weather.

Yeah, trapped describes it. It's nice to get a break but....we can't really do anything but sit at home and do homework. Which, we both evade by writing. There's a certain dismalness to winter that spring completely wipes away, and the way you wrote this really made that clear. Awersome job, hun. :)

I had a write like this one yesterday but I took it off.
Yea where I live we had freezing rain first, turned into sleet,
Right now it's snowing. I so can't wait for spring.
I like this and know the feelings.
