Kim Rodrigues Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Karen Jones' Couplet Contest

A Frosty Supply

In the firmament, a frosty supply.
Winter whitening, within, without, high.

Each flake in brand new cookie cutter shape.
Meek congregates, quickening the landscape.

Base, torso, head - together in dreamland.
Snowballs giggle as they’re rolled big and grand.

‘Will he grin,’ he’s wondering, and perchance
‘an old hat, a half chomped carrot, nice stance.’

Contrast of black, coal eyes against blue skies.
Snow “fat” hopeful or melting skinny-size.

Snowman doesn’t wrinkle, scarf sticks, falters crown.
Man, in red garb, grabs coal, regifts, flees town.
