A Coat to Coax the Springtime Snow


Thoughts tend to ebb and flow

as fleeting as

 a springtime snow.

To catch one flake

may take a year

and make some fear

 to ever think to grasp again.

 So,

Here I'll tell a secret task

  to keep the melt of frost at bay;

 On a day it seems to warm...

 Don a Coat!

yes, a coat for all to see!

(even as silly as it may be)

Some men's coats may look like

pens, and others still

like screens,

but,to don a coat in early spring

is just the thing to coax,

a coldstage choir cacophony!

...

So now it is I hopes you know 

just which coat

you wish to show.

And, furthurmore,

I hopes

one day you'll share with me

all the Frost Your Coat's made free.
