Andrew Crisci Poet Rhyme

Harsh Winter Shows No Mercy

All empty streets are paved with sleet,
it's not cold enough for a snowfall;
the cheek-boned guy is seeking a place to sleep,
he has found shelter in a warm corner down the hall!

We expect some heavy snow, don't be caught cold; 
power outrage is a possibility, buy candles
and stack up on food and check on friends;
mental health improves: if communication is good!

I spot the hot dog vendor with frozen face and eyes,
his steaming breath is a volcano fuming; he challenges
the brutal weather by rubbing his gloveless fingers; 
he curses it aloud: who thinks is mad when he yells?

Wild kids run by the hot dog stand and poke fun at him
saying, " Santa is another fat grinch, he offers nothing! "
" My two children are hungry! " He chases after them;
I hand him a twenty dollars bill: he can't stop smiling!
