A winter storm is brewing
It’s time to actively prepare
Snow and ice are coming
We must be aware!
Feed and water the doves
Feed and water the duck
Run to the grocers
Put gas in the truck.
Check on our neighbors
Check on our friends
Make sure everyone is okay
No one’s life must end.
Because of a winter storm
Because of a little ice
We all have time to be kind
And to be nice.
Yes, watch out for the weather
And watch out for its effects
But take time to watch out
For other people and show active respect.

Oh my, I love it…your poem, not the storm 🙂 You painted the perfect picture of a pending storm!! Thanks so much for linking up at the Wednesday Writing Prompt 8. Shared on Fb, Pn, and Tw.
Thanks, Dee! Whenever I read other people’s poems, it somehow sparks a poem in me. I’m not a poet, but I enjoy a good rhyme now and then.
What a delightful poem! Whenever we have a threat of a winter storm, our grocery stores quickly become depleted of bread and milk. But rarely do the winter storms happen in my area even when predicted. 😉
We rarely have winter storms, but this one is delivering. It started raining ice around 2 p.m. today. The ground looks like shaved ice chips. It is supposed to begin snowing tonight, so three days of ice and snow, then it will melt and disappear.
CONGRATS! Your post is FEATURED at the Wednesday Writing Prompt 9!
Thanks, Dee!
