Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLCMKKNOMP| Snow fell in the night | A |
| At five fifteen I woke to a bluish | B |
| mounded softness where | C |
| the Honda was Cat fed and coffee made | D |
| I broomed snow off the car | E |
| and drove to the Kearsarge Mini Mart | F |
| before Amy opened | G |
| to yank my Globe out of the bundle | H |
| Back I set my cup of coffee | I |
| beside Jane still half asleep | J |
| murmuring stuporous | K |
| thanks in the aquamarine morning | L |
| Then I sat in my blue chair | C |
| with blueberry bagels and strong | M |
| black coffee reading news | K |
| the obits the comics and the sports | K |
| Carrying my cup twenty feet | N |
| I sat myself at the desk | O |
| for this day's lifelong | M |
| engagement with the one task and desire | P |
