Slice of Life 20: Snow on March 20

By Janice Ewing

Instead of warming breezes and brightening skies
we have a cover of clouds and dusting snow

Instead of promising green grass
we have still another white-blanketed lawn

Instead of watching for crocuses and robins
we’re checking for slick spots 

Instead of jumping out of bed
spring hit the snooze alarm

Stretching and rolling over
for a bit more rest

Or maybe
to finish a dream
