The Severity of the Cold  (here)

The East facing an onslaught
Brace yourselves for it is now
two feet of snow and counting
Fun though as it had not been
this severe lately.

Life is ever changing remaining
static is regressive,strive to greater
heights by exploiting technology
to make it work for than against

  1. I'm not much for snow Hank. But between your poem and the picture, you make me want to be ont the ski slope, on the trail in your picture. I suppose my skiing days are over with my knee joint transplant.
    It's hard to beat technology and hard to keep up with it too. I worked as an aerospace engineer for 17 years. Three at spy satellite tracking and 14 at NASA Houston.
    Nice poems, I'm trying tie the two together. 'Work and play' onslaughts?

    1. Any sports of cold or warm surroundings would be most welcomed at any age. It's fitness that counts. Hank has now given way his golf clubs. If ever just brisk walking would be still in the works.

  9. Ever changing nature. We too are facing a cold wave, but I guess we humans only are responsible for all this.

  11. We are coping with our snow. Some have the added issue of flooding.
    I'm getting some stuff done on my 'day off' :)

    Cheers, Jules
