Winter Poetry

Life-Size Snow Globe

When the lightest of flakes
sprinkle
like salt over potato fries
or fish food on a skin of water
or glitter over glue
I am lucky to live
high
on a bluff,
where winds roil and boil
day and night.

Flakes take flight
past our windows
in horizontal swirls and curls
of wind.
I laugh like a kid
cheeks flushed in wonder,
our house secure
in its own
snow globe.

Poem #34 in my “poem a day” challenge for 2024. Not all poems make it to Medium, but the writing habit changed my brain.
