Dave Cox Poet Sonnet

The Snow Queen

The snow queen, white coat, white hair.
Her daughter, black top, black jeans
A wise queen an experienced mare
Guides her naïve, know-it-all teen
 
A diagnostic chart attached to her back
Popular ailments; some fiction, some fact
A talented rookie, her daughter has skill
Her mother recognises, helps to fulfil

The Snow queen not cold but strong
Her daughter home-schooled, wronged
Unusual scenario, a parent with brains
Knows exactly when to tug on the reins

An icy rouse hid the warmest heart.
Mother’s guidance will play its part.
