Snow Days


A blanket cold and soft.

Steep hills slick and unblemished.

An army marches toward the top,

weapons in hand.


The uniforms stiff

yet warm.

A treaty brokered.


Not one will attack until

the morning. Sounds

of shovels digging and

crunches of feet

overcome the whistles,

the voices of troops.


Shadows of dusk hit fully formed towers.

The army sleeps.


Dawn breaks the earth

slowly the army

makes their way

weapons waiting.

A bugle sounds

bellows fill the air.


Soon laughter saturates

the cold winter day.
