Description
These words fall calmly downLike little epiphany snowflakes
Not the kinds that land on sidewalks or city streets
To make the car wrecks you’ll regret and forget
But the kind that land neatly in little snow man balls
Waiting for creativity to inspire
Only needing the top hat and corn cob pipe
Made by the thoughts of snow man suburbs
Where the 9-5’s make them melt
So all they do is love when they turn to puddles
But sometimes the snowball fights they get into
Remind me of the wars of my youth
Blame games of yesterday
A flurry of sub-zero animosity with mittens off
After the anger leaves like these clouds that dissipate
They’ll wonder where their mittens are
And why their igloos are missing blocks
I know where they’ve gone
I watched it all in my brain binoculars
The ones that see where these snowballs can go
With a little inspiration

I hope my poetry accomplishes that goal! I've never been to fond of thoes morose ramblings of words that rhyme that most youth enjoy...I don't get what they have to be depressed about? Anyway I'm so very glad that you like my poetry! Thanks for being so encouraging!
Sincerely,
~Eric

Well besides the few gramatical errors, which are probably because of typing to fast, it is very well done. Thought prevoking as well...
