Poem

snowman three meters high
an inelegant formation
     of grizzled snow packed in lumps 
                                   needing refinement 
stubby tree-branch arms 
glutching fastened balloons, blue and yellow
                  bobbing in the wet licks of wind

snowman towering, gently twisted
desperate grit to thwart a winter's thaw
as blue and yellow balloons bounce near an icy chest
                                like a slow tempo beat of heart
plundered sense of capture
quirky
resilient balloons 
scripted bits of childhood charm                
not yet swept aside by tempest

nearby
snatched away by breezes
one red balloon traces the street gutter
                             like a beggar foraging returnable cans
red balloon smitten with blotches of mud
deflating in the mercenary chill
its gentle sway like a cheeky concept of self
unrestrained
in the vagrancy of night
