Introductions

Snow on my small town in
The MidAtlantic of
The USA,
Nothing dramatic—
x
It falls and stays
On quiet places
Such as grass
And parked cars,
While on the things that
Sponsor movement
There is only wetness,
Dark and clean:
x
On streets and sidewalks,
Moving cars,
And such
x
From the waist up,
It seems November
x
Today we’re met
With winter
(here and now)
Not in discontent,
A week before it’s due by
The saint’s calendar
x
We should take it
A decency
In an indecent year

I should have responded before now. I’ve been enjoyably living with your response. This poem turned out to be difficult to write. I kept wrangling over wording and the overall shape of things, so your response is exactly the right and most helpful affirmation. Thank you!–Christopher
