We New Yorker's call that Snow

A quite winter snow at night
Is magical and pretty.
Until the morning traffic comes
Because its New York City. 
the cold and sparkling snow so bright
is fresh and clean and pretty white,
its mixed with tires, plants and soil,
This is the snow that we call "snoil"
The teperature can drop a little.
And then we slip in frozen drizzle
The lovely water turns to ice
This kind of snow is then called "snice"
As the day is getting busy
And people skid by in a tizzy
that crystal beauty now has dirt
We new yorkers call that "snirt"
Then people go about their day
And walk their dogs along the way
Those cute puppies 'go' where fit
And we new yorkers call that "snit"

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
