Notes About The Poem

Their Coats Reeked - Hlm

a flurry of snow
natures ticker-tape parade...
snowflake confetti

Snow day students were tickled pink today
playfully making snow angels all-day
but nobody knew
they laid in dog poo
till that thin layer of snow got scraped away.

And as their coats reeked, they sat at the back of the bus the next day.
