Veterans Day

Veterans Day 2014--Shadorma poem--picture of a poppy from VFW
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2014

Often when I make the drive into work, I hit the traffic lights randomly, sometimes they are red, sometimes green, rarely are they ever just one or the other, but today, it seemed every one was red.  That caused me to think that perhaps I was supposed to be stopping to think about something or maybe use this extra pause time to form a poem in my head.
Well, so it was….:)

Winter’s Snowfall

snowflakes
Snow!

So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!
