Forever Winter

FOREVER WINTER Cookie cutter angel t w i n s in the fluffy dough. Woolen arms flap, rolling out wings in the snow. T e n d r i l s of brisk air move about their cheeks. Ice skate heaven smiles with frozen-r e d peaks. The crunch of i c e-crusted icing like crème brûlée. Their kid-size boots disappear into the earth’s cache.* A serpentine scarf wrapped around shoulders twice. The chin-reduction t w i n s dance on chilly white ice. J & J meet in their s t a r r y snowflake schemes, Eden’s wonderland, in their forever winter dreams. 11/27/2017 Any Couplet Contest - Laura Loo Dedicated to mom and her twin**
*Though cache is pronounced “kash.” Some mispronounce as “kash ay” Please except as the latter. It was in the rhyming dictionary. **Mom’s twin passed away in August

This is a lovely poem, Kim - takes me back to my own childhood! :) Congratulations on your winning poem and high placement in the contest! :) Bartholomew (P.S. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother's twin. Your poem seems a fitting tribute. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.)
