Rhythmic movements shovelling
snow, unveiling like
a virginal white
blushing bride, exposed
its truth revealed
in bright winter
sunlight. Stooping quickly
now, catching me
unawares, exquisite cold
thrust down, exhilarating
yet numbing me
momentarily, I retaliate
swinging wildly like
a broken windmill,
laughter my impediment,
pealing like church
bells at eventide.
Concentrating now, rolling
first his head
an imperfect sphere
knarled and knobbled,
lopsided grin, a
carrot his nose,
slate for eyes,
body bare, branches
for arms, plant-pot
hat, standing guard,
stoic, silent, snowman.

ah that winter air ...

'piping for the blood to dance!' ...

fine 'slice of life' winter 'write' ...

applause for this 'penning'!
