Someone Stole My Snowman

SOMEONE STOLE MY SNOWMAN Someone stole my snowman, I only made it yesterday A carrot nose and coal for eyes in the traditional snowman way The thieves were pretty clever; they left his hat and scarf behind They also left his carrot nose so he’ll be right and hard to find When I realized this morning, that my snowman wasn’t there I thought I must investigate, this rather sad affair But there were no clues that I could see, just a soggy scarf and hat And a little patch of yellow snow, but I’m sure the dog did that That smiley, chubby snowman, was built by my own hand A little bit of snowy art, in a winter wonderland My hands and feet were freezing, as I made this masterpiece But my snowman seems to be no more, he is in fact diseased I have to face reality, my snowman’s gone away Maybe he was magic, and he’ll return again someday I stare out at the winter sun, as the snow melts on my lawn And I sit and wonder to myself, where has my snowman gone

Something of Value lost and Forlorn Loser refuses to weep out his eyes; a reality sometimes.

Made me smile. Your "snowy art" made a lovely but sad poem. This was a striking balance after just reading Banshee. Keep up your surprisingly different themes. Spirit (hugs for the theft)

This brings back memories of that wonderful book by Raymond Briggs and the animated film of 'The Snowman'...and then there's the yellow snow :) Congratulations on your podium placement in Mystic Rose Rose's contest. Cheers - Gary
