Karen Jones' Couplet Contest

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.

Like children enjoy snowman, I enjoyed you making the snowman limb by limb. At the end, he stands tall with coal black eyes and wearing a hat. Congratulations on your great win, dear Kim.

"Man, in red garb, grabs coal, regifts, flees town." -- Someone was naughty and not nice. Great imagery! Did I get that right? Good luck in contest.

This is "warm" - in a way. I loved your originality of metaphors...."Snow “fat” hopeful or melting skinny-size" what a line, one of a kind <3
