Snow Is Poetically Inspiring
5 December 2007, the poet @ 8:33 pm

It snowed in my neck of the woods today. I love snow. It’s so poetic.

I remember when I returned from Iraq in December 2005. I had spent the entire year there with my National Guard unit. It didn’t snow once. But while I was gone my wife moved us to Pennsylvania where we now reside. My grandson, then three years old, wanted to go out and play in the snow. It was February 2006. His first snow experience with me (he’d played in the snow the year before while I was deployed).

He was so excited. And so was I. Afterwards, I wrote this poem. Read other poems of mine here.
