Symphony of The Storm

A Poem I've Written Depicting My Experience of the Winter Storm That Is Currently Affecting the UK

The snow is so deep

The sidewalk cannot be distinguished from the road;

The uncovered parts of the curb

Are like sections of a shipwreck

Poking up through deep mounds of sand

Dead leaves on tree-twigs

Rattle in the wind

Curled shells that are winter windchimes

Ring out the symphony of the storm.

The cold air takes a liking to exposed skin

And scrapes its erect bristles

As it nuzzles against you,

Like a cat greeting its owner on their return from a day at work.

The bristles sting at first

And then their numbing venom sets in

Dead leaves on tree-twigs

Rattle in the wind

Curled shells that are winter windchimes

Ring out the symphony of the storm.

At the end of the day

The falling snow ceases

The sun tries to melt the remnants before she is extinguished by the night

Her rays rinse one side of a suburban street

But her light is obstructed from reaching the other.

The untouched snow on this cold, shadowed stretch of pavement hides from her fatal fingertips

Like a child hiding

After disobeying their mother.

Dead leaves on tree-twigs

Rattle in the wind

Curled shells that are winter windchimes

Ring out the symphony of the storm.
