The Snowman Poem
The frosted snowman glistened on the hill, soft pallid sunshine cutting through the
chill.
Its belly rotund and a scarf wrapped so tight, on a pre-Christmas day 'twas a
heart-warming sight.
Its nose was lopsided, some buttons were missing, it had a wide toothless grin and
its body was slipping.
Two slender twig arms reached up to the heavens, two black fossil eyes gave an eerie
expression.
Its hat was stupendous, a blaze of bright hues, woolly like mammoths and worn
slightly askew.
Close by fallen angels, and snowball splattered trees, even more evidence of this
seasonal freeze.
Snowflakes of lace, cold fingers and thrills, all watched by the snowman from the top of
the hill.
