Do You Want To Build A Snowman?
Mind The Sun And Yellow Snow
This is for Mother Comb's, whimsical and delightful 'How to Build a Snowman' Challenge! Thank you!

When building a snowman
keep these few rules in mind
Draft together a plan
originate your design
Call out to your mates
collect twigs and fresh carrots
Grab a top hat in case
you need some holiday spirit
You'll need a shovel and coal
a scarf and some buttons
Spin them around the maypole
about a half a dozen
Start rolling the snow
stay away from the yellow
Maybe a cup of cocoa
for the frosty ol' fellow
Center the eyes
make him smile, just a little
add a special surprise
a corncob pipe, that you whittled
Put his hat on his head
wrap his neck up warm, in a scarf
Be sure to carry your sled
in case you want to windsurf
The thing about snowmen....
is, it's hard to go wrong
The Winterland is your playpen
the frosty breeze sings it's song
On those cool winter days
when the snow, balls up, just right
The snowman awakens to play
starting the biggest snowball fight
Don your gear, find a drift
something to hide yourself under
Check the air for a lift
the enemy's spoils to plunder
The big yellow ball in the sky
is clearly no match
When those snowballs take flight
the time passes too fast
It's the imagination of youth
keeping the true magic alive
That sparkle in your eye, is the proof
that holiday spirit, won't die

This felt like a whole lot of fun... Now I'm jealous and want to go play in the snow! Well done!
This is really sweet! Lots of vivid imagery, it made me smile :)
I love this take on it! All I could picture was Frosty
Add a bucket of water to make slush & it'll last longer. (Yeah, growing up it was deeply embedded into each of our psyches to make things last, lol.) Beautiful memories.
Absolutely warmed my heart, this poem. Kinda also felt like a step by step guide to building one. Nice!
This was so wonderful! Loved your take on the challenge!
This made me want to actually try to build a snowman; it's been years since I have done so despite no lack of snow or cocoa! *Thanks for reminding me that I need to learn how to whittle a corn cob pipe! Fun story!
This is excellent! Great job on the prompt.
What a way to see the making of a snowman.
This is great!! <3
