Norman’s snowman decided to hit the road
he was disgusted by his current frosty abode
I am leaving tonight at eight, he told Norm and me.
He said he was heading toward Livestock, Tennessee
I heard later that he melted along the way
His parts were scraped off the sixty-seven highway
We had warned him not to go, begged him to stay
Let that be a lesson to you Norm said to his new snowwoman, Kay
Snowman was invited to a brand-new spa
Who wants to go? He said, not me, not me
He was dragged in there by his cousin Maw
And promptly found a goblet that was quite comfy
It once held martinis, the spa owner said
It was designed by a snowman named Devil Day
You can get cozy and relax, as if it is your bed
Snowman liked it so much, he was there the next day
not despicable
abominable snowman
helpful actually
They don’t look tough, but they are angry.
Effortlessly taking off his scarf.
Bouncing around with a coal smile.
He didn’t look that tough, just round and tilting his head.
But when everything else melted, he stood tall anyway.
Even though an eye fell off but he acted like it was nothing.
Crossed the street like a snowman does to start a fight.
Got hit by a car that day.
The thing about hitting a snowman?
His carrot nose gets flattened.
And this slush is nothing to a moving vehicle.
So if you need to fight a snowman…
The car wasn’t dented at all.
So the driver and I both laughed.
I kicked the slush around- no bones or anything.
The snowy flesh continued to get run over all day.
Life is like fighting a snowman.
It all gets cleaned up in a carwash.
Quote By Poet "When winter goes to sleep, spring awakens."
cold
white snow
nature sleeps
winter arrived
sleeping until spring
snowman now melts
flowers bloom
birds sing
spring
He was a mechanic who sold illegal drugs. His nickname was Snowman. There was warmth in his eyes despite his moniker. There wasn’t a high he couldn’t supply or a ride he couldn’t repair. Despite his humble beginnings, time in the penitentiary, Snowman was a genius with machines. A doctorate’s degree in life and machines, only certified by the streets of north Davidson.
snowman eyes of coal
winter life froze carrot nose
gentrified bulldozed
This is the strangest snowman.
It’s got four legs and a snout…
It even has a tail !

You stupid snowman
You said you were cold so I gave you my scarf
Now I sit by you my neck exposed to harsh temperatures
My once rosy lips turn a shade of lifeless blue when they touch yours
Yet that wasn’t enough
You asked for more so I plucked of my coats buttons and placed them in your bare hands
Now I sit loosing feeling in my limbs
You said I was your sunshine
I was convinced you loved me even after you didn’t say it back
Until the sun begin to shine
And you began melt out of my life
I did everything I could to keep you
While you did everything you could to leave
Purposely wearing my coat to speed up the process
All to evaporate into someone else’s arms
Oh you stupid snowman
with a broken snowball
she mends
the snowman's cheek
That time of year
has now arrived,
your existence
and chance to be
is up to me.
The power great
to create,
as only I can.
Your life
in my hands,
on a whim.
an evergreen tree
dons a frosty coat of white
its snow-laden boughs
hang heavy with winter’s tears
like incandescent pinecones
a jolly snowman
with a Pinocchio nose
wears momma’s red scarf
its buttoned smile, coal black eyes
and pipe, polished to a gleam
I dance in the snow
as arctic breaths billow in
a mushroom of smoke
snowflakes faintly touch my lips
then melt in a puff of air
Winter wonder land's Frosty the Snowman
always radiates love* with vibrant Christmas plan
miraculously bright midst icy glow
never melting along gifts that flow.
*1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

1st place, "Frosty" Clerihew Poem Writing Contest
Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 12/26/2025
Snowman Frosty who’s full of glee
covered the ground with his frozen pee-
This rumor spread by Rudolph
skewed Santa's sleigh, then took off.
-note: edited after judging the contest (sorry, I was so sleepy when I wrote this in the morning)
Frosty the Snowman,
each winter will stand on guard like a leading man.
Some whisper that at night Frosty smiles, dances and sings,
but . . . there is no denying the pure winter joy Frosty brings.
Frosty The Snowman, wished a lovely tan,
Lying for hours on the sand Mexican.
Something bizzare instead happened to him,
"Frosty is invisible", children scream.
Frosty The Snowman,
Wished a lovely tan, lying on the sand Mexican.
Something bizzare instead chappened to him,
"Frosty is invisible", children scream.
