The White Frontier of Snow

The White Frontier of Snow
By Franklin Price
1/23/2015

The white frontier of snow I saw
Outside my window pane
No signs of footprints in it
Must go out could not refrain

Had to walk where no one had
On that fresh fallen snow
If anyone had walked there yet
Would have seen it I would know

Got out of my nightshirt
Put on my boots and hat
Rushed outside to be the first
Saw the footprints of a cat

Knew I had not been the first
Felt very cold and heaven knows
I rushed right back inside the house
To put on my other clothes
