The snow fell for days
without stopping.
The world went silent
as every creature slept
a dreamless sleep.
Inside the cabin,
Wild Woman kept the fire crackling,
and melted ice on the stove-top for tea,
grinning fiendishly,
knowing her long driveway
was impassable,
and no one would be able to stop by.
LOL. I am enjoying a snow day: fleecy pj's, hot chocolate, a crackling fire, sleepy dogs.......and a fiendish smile. Can't possibly go anywhere or do anything. Yay!
for Magaly's prompt at Real Toads: flash poetry, 13 lines or fewer, using the words: snow, ice, and cabin.
This is the difference between being trapped by snow and creating a nest in the snow. Wild Woman is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the yum. I'm very jealous of your hot chocolate, so take a sip or three for me. :-)
Nicely planned!

Oh, I can so relate to this Wild Woman! We don't have snow yet, in fact the sun is shining today, but that will be me when it does.
ReplyDeleteYou leave me no choice but to grin fiendishly in return, Sherry. I have no snow here, but I certainly share the sentiments. ;_)
ReplyDeleteI've never been snowed in! It sounds a real treat.
