Daily Prompt : Glitter

In response to daily post’s one-word prompt : Glitter

Whenever I hear of the freezing rain

I think of   glittering trees from my windowpane

I hear nature’s warning loud and clear

‘Get ready with artificial lights my dear.’

………………………….

Immediately I get ready with my flashlights

Trying to avoid  the dark with all my might

Then this ghastly truth makes me whine

What will I eat when it’s time to dine?

………………………………..

My stove needs electricity to cook

without it I cannot try to nuke

So what’s the only thing for me to do

Eat cold bread and yesterday’s stew!

…………………………………….. 😦
