Frosty

Dressed as a performer, 

I stand with my signature scarf, 

coal lips, and twig arms. I play 

many different roles, my expression 

is always changing.

Present on snowy lawns, parks, and schools.

The laughter of children surrounds me in the cold air,

as leaves crunch under a soft blanket of snow.

My smile shines for others to see, so they may take in 

all my beauty before I disappear.

The sun beams down on me, day after day, trickles of

 water drip and drip, changing my form from a once 

stunning star to nothing but a forgotten puddle.

That's how I know spring has arrived.
