Keepsakes of a Snow Day

speckled snow and bootprints,
French coffee sips, tire-treads,
leftover leaves like birdy wings.
upside-down pizza, for such
an occasion, slips from cast iron.
the blending of sausage balls,
pepperoni, baby bellas, onion,
jalapeno, parmesan, mozzarella,
provolone, seasoned sauce
and browned crust, unlike the classic -
a finger kiss satisfaction. drip drip
drip of icicles forming, branches
covered in powdered confection.
a snowball, formed by my honey,
in freezer, for a keepsake. realizing
the importance of commas.
in other words the snowball’s in
the freezer, not my honey.
     he chats it up about work.

Interesting ending. I know how to make homemade pizza - but I use already made crust ready to make. This work made me hungry, lol.

Creative. So you enjoyed the snow. We did not get snow, and I thank God for that. I hope the rain doesn't freeze overnight and cause a problem. I guess you have enjoyed it or so it seems. Sara K
