Snowman
That ugly man is
thrusting his mom back and forth
Mama is panting high and low
her eyes float on filmy watery slides
Is she crying in pain or joy?
but fear makes her son coy
It's suffocating inside the house
outside, it's is a cold winter burdened by pale white ice
The boy doesn't care
his tiny cat even disappears
He flings open the door
gusty wind blows his hat down on the snowy floor
The snowman is still standing , breathing in cold air
smiling, and with his carrot nose sniffs boy's despair
Happiness returns, the boy grins
his father faded face sadly shines
he hugs the snowman and tears
he mumbles and murmurs
If you can, please linger
for few more months hey dear winter.
