I'm not sure "upon" is the best word usage here. I went and looked through the dictionary and there are many definitions of "upon" and none really seem to fit well. I had thought maybe an idiom, but no. Maybe just "on". As "Weather is lost on New York (this time of year. I am assuming you are implying Christmas/New years?).
I do like the idea, but the arrangement of the lines makes for some difficult reading. One might edit for better clarity, such as:
"weather lost on New York
come a month
the snow shall fall"
Best,
Dale
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it!
My original intent was a haiku, but I do like your arrangement better.
In terms of "upon" and "on", I'm not really sure. I read that "upon" is just a formal version of "on". Let me know if it still doesn't sound right in the edited version:
weather lost upon New York
come a month
the snow shall fall
Thanks again
