Snowed

It doesn't look as though it's going to snow
But then, it rarely does until it does.
Why telegraph that you'll be letting go?
It's far more fun when no one thought it was
Coming, or believed the warning signs
Than when it's been prepared for. A surprise
Is always better when it tingles spines
And raises goosebumps. Looking to the skies
To see a cloudy danger written there
Would be anticlimactic; now, however,
It looks as though it really wouldn't dare
To snow - and so we dare to think it never
Will. But think how sweet it is to lie:
Expect the snow out of a clear blue sky.
