Notes About The Poem

Oh, Snowman


Oh, snowman, what now did you do?
Your cartwheel has not favored you!
Your feet in the air...
head grounded you stare.
Your upside-down stance is askew!

I built you with such loving care;
to stand like this just isn't fair.
Must take you apart
to build from the start,
and place your head up in the air!

But then, I changed planning...instead,
to make you upright, be ahead...
to top ball moved eyes,
nose, mouth, scarf...surprise!
My snowman with super-sized head!

This might not be a proper comment, but snow is water. :) Meaning a big head is called a water head. Told you it was not too proper. Oh well, no harm, no foul. Nice limy.

I can picture your new snowman in my mind Sandra but I'm not sure that it is any less curious than the original one, lol.
