Snowy Misery

Snowy Misery

A Poem by Tamme

The glistening snow

The crystal covered trees

A lovely show

Who wouldn't this please?

 

Me! That's who!

My car slides wacky ways,

"Stay on the street, you!"

But into the ditch it strays!

 

I start out stumblin' home

In this slushy yucky mess.

The road shines like chrome

Why the hell did I wear a dress?!

 

Arms full of bags,

Muscles tired and weak

My moral drags

And my shoes start to leak

 

My nose is running

The boogers form icicles

My bag breaks open

S**t! I broke the jar of pickles

 

Off somewhere I hear

The sounds of kids playing

A reason for cheer,

I used to love sleighing

 

Happy thoughts are lost

Replaced by fear and distress

As snowballs are tossed

Ducking for cover is useless

 

"I know that's you Tom!

Along with the rest of the clan!

I'm calling your mom!

That goes double for Mike and Stan!"

 

I round my corner

My sweet home in sight

Can't wait to get warmer

And settle in for the night.

 

I search my purse

The key ring with a star

This never-ending curse!

My keys are in the car!

The meter isn't letter perfect ... it's not bad ... just not perfect. But ya know what? I don't care! This poem was fabulously superb. It entertained this old curmudgeon beyond words. I am SO with you on this and I chuckled the whole way through! Thank you so much for sharing this and adding some levity and cheer to my day.

This goes into my favorites.

So many surprises in a single piece!
Wonderful rhymed piece.
Picturesque presentation.
Missing key episode at the end!
First line of each stanza has a different font size!
I appreciate your poetic talent.

Snow is evil, snow be done, snow is better in the sun.

I can feel the bitter chill of frustration in the piece. If mankind was meant to be in snow, we would have had fur...

On your review page I would like to share a few thoughts:

There is one good reason we like the Summer
And that is because the rain is a Bummer
Wet, Dry, Cold and Windy Weather
Blows away everything light as a Feather

If I have no place to be and no people to see
I will dance outside and let myself be
But in this world and working century
Life goes on and chores are mandatory.

It's always in bad weather that things go wrong! Thanks for sharing. I have the same sentiments. :) It was a nice read. Thanks!

Great! I giggled when I read this. Being that it is the day I've been having. The first snow is so beautiful, and then it's a domino curse as you state. Great!

My sweet home in sight
Can't wait to get warmer
And settle in for the night.
