Playmate

(A Children's Poem)

Visions form as the cold wind blows 
I watch the flakes, see a carrot nose 
Red scarf around a cold, cold neck
tall black hat, arms of forked sticks

Stay away, sunshine, my friend will die 
his smile will vanish, his buttons will fly 
I will be sad as I contemplate
my long-lost friend by the garden gate

Good poem. Is it about a scare crow?

No, it is about a snowman. In my book, I included a picture of a snowman on the same page as the poem. I am virtually computer illiterate, haven't yet learned to navigate this site competently. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. I will definitely return the favor.
