POEM: Snowed In

A poem on being snowed in during the Nor'easter that buried much of Berkshire County and the surrounding area in feet of snow.

The morning awoke us with a glare of
fields glazed in snow four foot high,
so high a neighbor’s horse got out,
just scampered skittishly over the fence

We watched it plow sideways through our yard
breasting the powdery waves
flanks, all quavery, wading,
flinging up sprays of freedom

It took an hour’s exertion to dig out the car
and shovel a gangway to the road,
aware of, not far away,
one wayward colt, exulting
