Nano 2014... It's not!

November 2, 2014 Diatelle

Inspiration: Halloween night we had a horrible thunderstorm, unfortunately the mountains of NC had snow. It was kind of sad with all of the college Home Coming Celebrations, the autumn colors at their peak. until I started looking at the pictures of the Blue Ridge Parkway. What wonderful pictures!

Halloween Trick

Blow


North wind


You offend


Autumn's glory.


Once a hurricane wend


Pushed by jet stream? That's your story!


You're responsible for nature's fury


Unexpected precipitation: soft, wet, snow


Dealt us your best, thought we wouldn't parry


Autumn was a bit contrary


Triumphant in the end


Nature's story


Will not end


Transcend


Snow
