Slice of Life – Snowed In


SNOWED IN

It has been four days,
FOUR DAYS
Since I left my house.


Four days spent shivering.
Under blankets.
In front of fires.
Drinking hot chocolate.

Four days of reading books.
Watching movies.
Playing board games.
Baking too. many. treats.

There has been exercise,
Treadmill,
Yoga,
But mostly shoveling,
Shoveling,
Shoveling.

Four days.
Two bonus days off from school.
SNOW DAYS.
Children celebrating all over town.
Teachers rejoicing.

We are warm,
Relatively.
We are safe,
Yet stir crazy.
I am grateful.

And excited for the warm-up.
It has been four days.
