Snowed In Poem by Kellsey Hartmann

The slanting sleet
pounds against my window
it's not to long
'til the sleet turns to snow

I light the fire
keeping warm and content
I'll just keep waiting
for the weather to relent

The snow keeps falling
by now piling up high
the comfort of a good book
as the day is drawing nigh

rapped in my blanket
that I, myself, made
I look outside
and see how much has laid

the fire, now coals
I stir the orange embers
I sit on the couch
to just sit and remember

now it's off to bed
where I'll be warm and content
maybe as I sleep
the weather will relent
