Slowing snow,
sleeping sluice,
the poet slacks,
slap him…

Otherwise
his muse
would never
come back.

There is some humorous onomatopoeia here (as well as a tongue twister). Besides, where would we be without our muses?

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

Dear Yann, you surely are not the one who slacks! Enjoyed this one, it is stimulating ...

Love,
Margherita

Oh, I love this, Yann.  It is such fun - starting from such a beautiful poetic image and ending with the shock of the smack and the explanation!

Hello Owl, this poem is a bit strange, cause I didn't know where I was going this time....Usually when I write a poem I have the idea of the poem....There I didn't have, I just write Slow snow and that's all, then I looked in my dictionary to make onomatopeus and find an ending...Thank you for your generous comment...

regards

Well, it worked!  Very clever it was too, Yann.
