A Winter Poem
Using the snow spade to once again clear out the driveway,
I couldn't help but notice the lights that shimmered all day,
twinkling at me from the sunlight playing off of the snow,
giving the silver sparkling look of the fresh snow a certain glow,
During my repetitive shoveling I caught a glimpse of,
the gold ornaments I had hung on the tree in my front yard,
with the shiny icicles hanging down from my quaint log cabin house,
causing my love of the beautiful scenery to become aroused,
Continual shoveling made me break out in a sweat,
I knew pretty soon I would need to get some rest,
the snow drifts by my house getting higher each day,
with my dog running around in it wanting to play,
At least the snow flakes had somewhat let up,
as I grabbed my thermos and drank some hot chocolate from my cup,
suddenly it felt like there was an earthquake like shaking again,
as I watched all the snow flakes fall down blizzard like with disdain,
Wanting to go in my warm house and lounge around in my bathrobe,
instead I had to put on a winter Christmas picturesque show,
with the giant lifting me and my property up in the air,
I grabbed my dog and held onto my front porch railing with a certain stunt woman flair,
Used to this topsy-turvey world my dog and I lived in,
I saw the giant look at me with a big wide toothy grin,
like two mannequins my dog and I quickly struck a Norman Rockwell pose,
while the giant grabbed the remote and gently put down the snow globe.
