The Inspiration
As winter approached, we got the house ready for a snowy winter in the rocky mountain region. We waited and waited for snow and it really never came. I created this poem to "build a snowman". This snowman felt like the only one we would be building this year.
The Snowman's House
I am a carrot faced, coal-eyed snowman
The air isn't cold, in fact it's wet and humid
Stacked up in balls with buttons, scarf and hat
I should be melting but I stand tall and fat
When the ground shakes the snow fills the skies
You can always see me, I have nowhere to hide.
I dreamed to be a doctor or wear the judges robe
But I'm stuck in my house of glass, a big snow globe.
The Outcome
Turns out there was enough snow to make our own and put him in his own house.
