Field of Snow

A Rondel w/ a metaphor. Written for Lexi's Poetry Contest

A field of snow, a frozen stream,
Tell me doctor, what does it mean?
Each night it's the same silent scene
Help me make light of this, my dream

    I'll tell you young lass, what I deem
    It's a heart's elaborate scheme
    A field of snow, a frozen stream
Go on doctor, what does it mean?

A blizzard of angst in full teem,
You're stuck in its frigid routine,
Love and lust and the in between
A lapse in judgement to redeem
    A field of snow, a frozen stream
