Let It Snow

Two little girls, with eyes that glow Are locked out, in the drifting snow No others home, where did they go Perhaps to work, maybe a show Must find shelter, that they know A strange house, Mom and Dad, say no Back to school, too far, too slow No place left to hide, although One last place, They both might stow Back in the yard, with Collie Jo He's their dog, He's watched them grow He'll keep them warm, that they know Forget the house, there's no floorshow Forget the family, until they crow Forget the wind, and let it blow But, remember life, death's your foe Someone will find you, just below Outside the window, once light does glow They'll come out, blankets in tow Kisses and hugs, they will bestow Their love for you, it will show A happy end, to a night of woe Arms all filled, and walking slow With, two little girls, all hearts aglow

Astounding number of monorhymes! Very effective and pleasing, except in the fourth stanza where I believe the rhyme is slightly forced. The others are duly impressive, and are able to carry the story along with surprising ease in spite of the restriction of words.

Isaiah Thanks for the input. I agree now that I reread the fourth it could have been a little forced. Maybe I'll revise it. S
