He Plays Frosty Pranks
A Poem for the Frosted Verse Challenge
“Creativity may not always sit well, but has the power to heal.” Michelle Liew
While outside-the-box ideas may seem quirky or even offensive to some, remember that those have helped at some point of time. We can think of millions of examples!
**********************************************************************
In a laid-back town, when the pale moon rose,
Came Bob the Sprite in a naughty pose.
“Not just ice,” he proclaimed, with a smile,
“It will shine brightly, in a while.”
**********************************************************************
He doused the trees with patterns and curls,
Made the glass of windows at last unfurl
A frosty leaf showed on Aunty Em’s pane,
“That’s art!” he said, and pranced again.
**********************************************************************The townsfolk moaned, “It’s a frosty mess!
“Our doors, our homes - we’re quite distressed!”
Bob hid in the shadows, quite contrite
Till Mr. Wilson saw his plight.
**********************************************************************On his window formed his love, his wife
A treasured scene they shared in life.
He wept, then smiled, his heartstrings alight
“Now Bob, I won’t feel alone tonight.”
**********************************************************************From that day on, the townsfolk agreed
For Bob the Sprite, there was a need.
For life’s paths cannot be always planned -
It sometimes needs the magic of a frosty hand.
