gone gone away
by Toni Sweeney (Age: 21)
copyright 07-14-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
There once was a snowman
tall as can be
now just a puddle
that lies on the ground

He once had a pointy carrot nose
that stood on his face
now just rabbit food that
has gone away

The snowman once had a smile
a smile made with some rocks
now the smile has faded
all that remains now is the
rocks and that puddle on the ground


he had two arms made of twigs
now just part of a birds nest
way up in the tree

he had a scarf and some gloves
that kept him warm
they are now just a few things
soaked on the ground

The eyes he had
made him shine
that was till
the sun came and melted
the poor snowman away

he will be back
when the snow comes back
he will be happy and glad to
return because he
no longer will be
a big puddle on the ground

Ha ha! I love this I think it's funny that you wrote a poem about a snowman. I don't know maybe it's because I just read one about death. ha ha but I remember all the snowmen we used to make! That was so much fun! Daddy was always too lazy to help us so we'd roll the huge balls of snow all over the yard and they wouldn't be white like you see in pictures and movies. They'd be filthy with mud and leaves and so much more but they'd be HUGE. It always took all of us just to lift it's head on top! And that's even with daddy helping. I miss those times it was so fun. We'd freeze our little butts off. ha ha thanks for posting it.

This is another wonderful poem written in your lighthearted style with a serious message. Creatures live and they die and they come back again!?

Good Write!

Toni, I think you stumbled onto something very somber here! This is a great metaphor for death and the hope for an after-life. You may not see it this way, but this is what I see. You see, we all have to face the fact that we will some day leave this wonderful place. We will melt away, like the snowman, but the winter will come again and other snowmen will be made by eager children. So, you see, you have stumbled onto a very interesting and lovely poem. There is another side to this poem as well. If not interpreted the way I have, it can be also interpreted as a wonderful children’s story. It has the gentle flow and subtle imagery of a melting snowman and cheerful children pouting next to it! “he had and scarf and gloves,” in this line, I think you meant, “he had a scarf…” I would take out the last stanza. You have stated that already and you don’t want to lose its effectiveness. Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece of poetry!

although this is the first poem i have read of yours i would say we write the same. We do not have snow here very often here in Texas and i don't think i have ever made a snow man but your have made me one and took him away all in one season of your work and now i think have a caught a glimpse of what it must be really like to have a loose this man of snow! thank you

Very nice. I hate seeing snowmen melt in my front yard because it's kind of pathetic because they'd only been around for a short time and also because I took a lot of time making it. LOL!
