constructing poetry

let it snow. let it snow. let it snow.

I hear that the blizzard
will linger for days—
but we shouldn’t care—
we are on holiday!

we’re all done with shopping.
our cupboards are full.
we’ve plenty of water
and needles and wool.

our medicine’s stocked
and our blankets are many
and I’ve been to the library—
books, we have plenty.

I hear that they’re planning
to measure in feet,
but why should we care?
we both here, off the street.

we’ve plenty of wood
and the fire is bright—
even though the electric might
fail in the night.

the candles are stocked
and the matches are found
and our solar powered backup
is perfectly sound.

best of all, you’re here with me.
we’ll cuddle up tight—
our love will secure us
throughout this cold night.

we’re all ready now
and we’ve nowhere to go—
we’ll snuggle in close
though the blizzard may blow.

we won’t care a bit—
let it snow, let it snow.
what the heck, let it snow,
let it snow, let it snow.
