Here in the Blue Pond

As my face frosts

To the march of the snow,

I look into the blue

Unsure of my decisions.

 

Memories skipped around

Of the 2-foot-tall snowman

That I named Blue;

 

Its prominent, orange nose

That juts out 

Like a sore thumb

Or its fragile hands,

The length of a teacup,

Shine through

My single teardrop.

 

Figures pass by,

While I remain 

On this tear-stained bench,

As if a photographer

Is about to capture me

Sitting through a motion blur.

 

I sit tall and proud.

Yet, my mind cries

Of the infinite actions
