Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Written - 24th December 2024

Frosty the Showman

Perhaps earth will be lovingly kissed
With snowfall at a time such as this
To grace the holy day
Jesus was laid in hay
Our first and most blessed of Christmas gifts.

A short lifespan, a joyful lifespan
For Frosty the cold, winter showman 
With hat, scarf, pipe and gloves
Provided with much love
From children who adore a snowman.

Slowly, sadly, snowman melts away
To the sorrow of childhood at play
Hopefully he'll be back
Before winter has past
And snowflakes come falling thick and fast.

Duke Beaufort February 14, 2025 at 11:50 AM Beryl, sounds like a lot of fun to build and a bit sad to watch the melting. It makes snowfall something special to play with. I remember how hard it was to place one large snowball on top of the other, but it was fun. Smiles!! Beryl Edmonds June 4, 2025 at 10:22 AM So sorry I missed your comment Duke, better late than never. Being one of five sisters it was lots of fun building a snowman in the garden many years ago, the memories live on… Beryl
