Snowflake

I see you snowflake

dancing in the breeze

playfully tumbling

outside my window

begging for someone

to come out and play.

I see you snowflake

calling my children

out to play

with the promise

of snow angels and forts

snowball fights and snowmen

and if they are lucky

a snow day.

I see you snowflake

taunting me

teasing me

reminding me to salt the walk

shovel the drive

play with the dog.

I see you little snowflake

at first glance

you are beautiful

but I am not impressed

Go back where you came from!

You are not welcome here!
