Snowman

He stands forgotten in the garden
Children’s voices echo on the air
Shouts of glee taken by the wind
Scattered here there and everywhere

Short-lived joy of yesterday
Existing worlds apart
The man of snow stands in the cold
But he feels a warm glow in his heart

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

      Yes, Col. Sometimes I long for a ‘proper’ winter which we don’t experience here. Other times I am more than happy with our climate.

    You should see our grandchildren when the snow comes. Such gladness.
    No wonder he has a warm glow in his heart, Denise.
