Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

A Melted Snowball

One cold winter day, I formed a great big snowball
as big as it could be with my tiny hands.
I pressed it very tightly, mittens on!
Proud I was of it. It looked so grand!
Home I went to store my snowball
in the freezer. My brother,
befuddled, took it out.
It melted so small
as it lay there
on the floor -
puddled!
