Notes About The Poem

Stuck In a Snowglobe With You

precious power you possess
wind me up, make me spin
Christmas carols fill the air
     at your side, I skate with joy
     on a glass rink in a child’s toy

captured in this fantasy dome
idyllic village surrounds us
two hearts twirling endlessly
     red skates shiny and new
     effortlessly, I glide toward you

happiness gleams from a child’s eyes
she rocks our world
bestows sparkling snow
     flakes adorn our holiday scene
     we pirouette, forever sweet sixteen

We did indeed do the same theme; great minds lay in the same gutter, you know! We even both included ice skating. I adore your imagery as delivered in beautiful free verse, Carolyn - just beautiful! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Staying sweet sixteen would probably be the best part of living in a snow globe. Thanks for reading, Sherry

You captured the imagery in your words: ..I skate with joy on a glass rink in a child’s toy. And the joy of listening to the holiday music..it is quite real to a child and grown ups too. Thanks for the magic, Carolyn.
