#SOL18: Remnants
In the trails
In the hollows
In the ditches
In the shady spots
Out of the sun
In those darkened spots
Traces remain
A glimpse of what was
Just two short weeks ago.
Flat spaces of brown
Dry and sparsely vegetated
Scattered collections of gray and white
Remnants of the great snowstorm of two weeks ago.
Snow in the news.
20 ” shattering records
Causing accidents
Collapsing roofs and
Exploding transformers.
A blanket of snow
A fresh new covering
Quickly fades as the danger emerges
For people, animals, and vehicles on the road.
