The Snow Plow and Me

For More Haiku

Snow keeps getting deeper
Plows come ’round at last
Leave deep pile behind my car

I don’t notice that it’s there
Back into the pile
Stuck tight in big pile of snow

Shovel snow beneath the car
Litter for traction
Neighbor helps me get it out

“Daughter, you didn’t warn me”
“What snow pile?” she asks
Her truck takes me to the store

Four-wheel drive so comforting
To the store and back
I go and come home to stay
