The Wintery Mix
The Unnecessary Line Challenge
wintery mix is a snowman's delight
snow fairies dance without any light
flowers die, giving up without a fight
bundle up with a coat and gloves
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
shovel and push the snow as you slide
clearing a path as long as you did wide
you better hurry, time's not on your side
making snow angels out of love
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
making snowballs that are round, not flat
perfectly formed to an art and all of that
throwing and hitting your neighborhood brat
The snow is still falling from above
182 days between Winter solstice and Summer Solstice
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
ice skating across the lake
making turns you dare to take
do not fall for goodness sake
on the wings of a snow white dove
89 days between the Winter solstice and the Spring equinox
