Snowballs Melting Fast

Yesteryear’s child rolled in the snow all flakes blazing in frosted happy crystals Broke through ice on winter scape lakes and warmed with steaming chocolate Roasted chestnuts on sticks in the fireplace thawed glowed marvelling joy Hot molten marshmallows mellowed frost bitten hands soothed adventurous soul Winters were glorious with immaculate seasons greeting revolving excitement Nostalgia romantic reminiscence foresight or withering delight’s sadness Miraculous icicles descending dripping noses silently disappeared Memories evaporated forgotten glaciers relinquished destroyed Ravishing blistering heatwaves desertification thirstiness Aggrandised humanity's perverted ‘advancement’ Tsunamis hell frozen Conscience obliterated Snowballs Written on 07th April 2018 and counting For ‘A Melting Snowball’ contest Entered as Free Verse because Melting Snowball form is not a Poetry Soup menu Word count per line from 13 to down to 1
