White Screams

White Screams

abominable hours

a pack of dogs wailing

snow cascading in all directions

visibility into the future 

nil

blizzard love buries

cities

in silent blur

bodies found

in ice caskets

unceremoniously dispatched

God must really be angry

I just hope

he feeds the starving canines

and gives them Holy Water

for sustenance

so the souls

may safely depart.

I have seen the images on tv of the awful weather conditions in the States. Snow can be so beautiful yet it can be devastatingly cruel. It has certainly caused mayhem. The deaths are increasing. A winter that will be remembered and for all the wrong reasons.

Yes,an incredible winter burst similar to one big avalanche engulfing parts of America with deathly consequences. Unimaginable really, beyond belief.

Sounds like what Alaske must be. When I watch nautres so I get sad watching the animals braving the bitter cold.

me too...thanks, Dale.
Your Wolverines have a pretty good chance to win it all...but Georgia is so tough.

It reminds me of many winters I spent in my childhood and up until 30 years ago up north. That is why I moved south. It also speaks to the soul.

thank you so much for your words, Soren,

Yep. it just makes me cringe to think about the helpless dogs and cats who are left outside in weather like this. And no, I am not a Sarah McLaughlin fan. Very sad.
