The Snowman

 This is a recent poem by me.

[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]The Snowman[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]A snowman in a winter of cold,[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Looked up at the darkening sky[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]To the snow clouds his stories he told[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]With nary the bat of a coal black eye[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]The bat of a coal black eye[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]As his story progressed through the snowy night[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]A strange audience came round[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Of crystal formations reflecting moonlight[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Yet created not a single sound[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Created not a sound[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]As the glorious procession continued[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]His seven stone mouth curled up[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And more captivated flakes fell anew[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Just nature's attention for him was enough[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Nature's attention was enough[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]He forgot to watch with his new fame[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]For the sun to creep over the trees[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]But dawn approached just the same[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And the world began to unfreeze[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]The world began to unfreeze[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And he realized too late that morning was here And his audience melted away[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]For not paying attention the price was dear[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And the morning turned into day[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Morning turned into day[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]But his heart of snow was a brave one[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And he blinked at his melting home[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]And he turned to face the scorching sun [/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]But he stood not alone[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]He stood not alone[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]A chorus of blue birds thanked him[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]With a song so sweet and light[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]For the evening before they had listened [/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]To his stories at late midnight[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Stories at late midnight[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]So as the sun beat down on his face[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]With a chorus of voices around[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]The snowman was melted away [/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]But through the land his voice still resounds[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Through the land his voice resounds[/font]


[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Yes if you listen quite closely[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]In the depths of winter so grand[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]You will hear his voice quite clearly[/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Bringing joy throughout the land [/font]
[font="Lucida Calligraphy, cursive"]Joy throughout the land[/font]
