Everything Froze

Everything Froze a giant crystal wind chime spread its tone teeth of icicles consumed a home misted rain encased fence posts and rail power lines succumb to winter’s weight and fail vehicles in free style pirouettes slide beneath the curtain call of white taunted by the feigned applause of wind stinging critic of a dance that will not end children do the snow day dance of glee parents know how long this day will be until the child that lives within them all makes and throws the season’s first snowball streets await the toothbrush of the plow snow men don old hats and carrot nose angels in the snow cold trumpets blow to celebrate the day everything froze John G.
