: Snow Monsters by Treischel
Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry



Are snow monsters real
with sharp
crystal teeth
devouring roof tops
in gigantic gulps?

Oh woe!

What to think,

when
the unsuspecting,
all very warm and cozy,
drinking their hot chocolate
and snuggled under thick quilts,

have
their
rafters
come
tumbling
down?

Remember
those
small round
remorseless eyes
that hunger for a tasty treat.

No structure is safe
From the icy fangs.

They'll crunch
Both bed and bones!

Are you safe in your house
from the freezing crush?

Beware!


Author Notes
This image reminded me of a large bird-like snow monster biting a house roof. Maybe my imagination has run away a bit.

An animated still is a still-life photographic image that takes on a life-like aspect that inspires a poem.

Author photograph.
