Let It Snow

Two little girls, with eyes that glow
Are locked out, in the drifting snow
No others home, where did they go
Perhaps to work, maybe a show

Must find shelter, that they know
A strange house, Mom and Dad, say no
Back to school, too far, too slow
No place left to hide, although

One last place, They both might stow
Back in the yard, with Collie Jo
He's their dog, He's watched them grow
He'll keep them warm, that they know

Forget the house, there's no floorshow
Forget the family, until they crow
Forget the wind, and let it blow
But, remember life, death's your foe

Someone will find you, just below
Outside the window, once light does glow
They'll come out, blankets in tow
Kisses and hugs, they will bestow

Their love for you, it will show
A happy end, to a night of woe
Arms all filled, and walking slow
With, two little girls, all hearts aglow

Astounding number of monorhymes! Very effective and pleasing, except in the fourth stanza where I believe the rhyme is slightly forced. The others are duly impressive, and are able to carry the story along with surprising ease in spite of the restriction of words.

Isaiah Thanks for the input. I agree now that I reread the fourth it could have been a little forced. Maybe I'll revise it. S
