The occassion for this poem was a blizzard in early January 1977. [bodytext] => The blizzard teases our myth of mastery,
Blocking our roads, Icing our noses
Rollicking about us as we stand, bewildered.
Waiting for the buses that are slowed, stalled,
By snow: Joking rudely up our coats, as we,
Exasperated, trudge on in seriousness.
The wind whips up the snow as helpless as we
Are helpless before the snow. The snow has
Come to see the sights and stop the action;
To blow around the buildings and over that
Wall of phantasy which we have erected.
The wall which marks the limits beyond
which no wild thing may pass without first
Surrendering its genitals. The wind laughs
And swirls in about us. The snow surrounds us
And settles in for a siege... [comments] => 1 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 27 [informant] => aernby [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

Snow and the City

The blizzard teases our myth of mastery,
Blocking our roads, Icing our noses
Rollicking about us as we stand, bewildered.
Waiting for the buses that are slowed, stalled,
By snow: Joking rudely up our coats, as we,
Exasperated, trudge on in seriousness.
The wind whips up the snow as helpless as we
Are helpless before the snow. The snow has
Come to see the sights and stop the action;
To blow around the buildings and over that
Wall of phantasy which we have erected.
The wall which marks the limits beyond
which no wild thing may pass without first
Surrendering its genitals. The wind laughs
And swirls in about us. The snow surrounds us
And settles in for a siege...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
