I’m happy to announce that my poem, “First Snow,” has been published today on Gobblers & Masticadores. I want to thank J. Re Crivello and Manuela Timofte for publishing it. Please visit Masticadores and show them your support. Thanks!
It’s that time of year when some people are already experiencing snow and ice. Please stay safe! In 2014, I was in a terrible accident in Flagstaff, Arizona, caused by ice on the road that totaled my car and further injured the back injuries I had received from lifting and moving patients when I worked as a registered nurse. I could barely walk for six months. Sometimes, I still have trouble walking. When I commuted back and forth on I-40, I used to see car accidents and overturned semi trucks, which made me very sad. I always wondered if anybody survived. I avoid snow like the plague now. It’s beautiful at Christmas; otherwise, I don’t want to be anywhere near it.
First Snow
by Dawn Pisturino
The first white snow of winter
Falls softly on the ground;
The world looks like a fairyland
With snowflakes all around;
The trees dress up like fairies,
Dancing on the snow: —
Magic happens everywhere
The fairies dance, you know. . .
Please go HERE to read the rest of the poem. Thanks!
