Notes About The Poem

Sparky Steals the Sled

Winter knocking at my door bringing its presence Trees boughs drooping with weight of its omnipresent Crystal flakes glide down from heaven unspoiled and white Very quietly alight in the silent night Noses and cheeks left frozen with its crimson touch Our knees knocking and teeth chattering they won’t hush With its ambiance brought considerable fun Sleds are out for a straight downhill slide to outrun Sparky our dog chases behind, then steals the sled He said, “It is my turn now!” Speeds and leads instead We all took chase with bouts of giggling and loud shouts “Come back, Sparky, with our sled or no more handouts!” Ragamuffins sweet whispers, kisses, and good-nights Warm and cozy for the night, dreams of snowball fights 12/29/2016

Congrats, Eve! I love your knees knocking, teeth chattering, ragamuffins. Beautiful Winter scene! I used to have a beagle named Sparky! He was my favorite.
