PAUL’S POEM

Paul asked why no poetry came
In November nights
When the dark was done,
To which I looked to the sky for blame
Since it was so tame
On that last run.

But his luck has turned bright
Literally –
With crystal snow
That paints the world pure glaring white
And wets the air all night.
And who can know

When the vapors will climb
Up off our turf
Back to the sky?
Or why this verse is flimsily rhymed,
With no meter timed?
Ah well.  G'bye.
