Global Warming? I think not

narrative verse in rhyming quatrains

 

Global warming I think not

 

Snow has fallen snow on snow.

The temperatures remaining low.

There is no sign of any thaw,

In fact we are expecting more.

 

It’s snowing intermittently.

With intervals of weak sunshine

but it is freezing constantly.

 With dread black ice the bottom line

 

A hazard for the traveller

 who has no choice but has to go

Though most of them would much prefer

 to stay at home out of the snow.

 

Authorities are struggling to

  ensure the major roads are free

 of snow to let the traffic flow.

Albeit very carefully.

 

Its more than thirty years ago.

Though some of us can still recall

 the problems caused by heavy snow.

But memories don’t help at all.

 

We have to cope with here and now

and not what happened years ago.

We have to show that we know how

to overcome this winters snow.

 

We do not know when thaw will come

as it has always done before.

But we are sure we will welcome,

 the sight of snow free roads once more.

Very well written and clever wright. I agree with your title, however. The kind of weather you're writing about is happening all over the world, literally.
