Snowman
There stands
a mighty snowman
proud, firm
and erect,
built by an artistic hand
for topmost effect.
There waits
a mighty snowman
prone, hale
and headstrong,
primed by anticipation
till love comes along.
There thaws
a mighty snowman
meek, soft
and flaccid,
deliquesced by fervent heat
forming pools placid.
