This morning, Ethical ELA asks us to write a poem based on a historic photograph, an ekphrastic poem. I started with some wonderful old photos, but while I was lap swimming, I started thinking about an old, if not historic photo of a snow-bunny!
Frosty comes on cold
December mornings
When mittens are new and
Hot chocolate is waiting
Near brightly lit trees
Like in the books, movies.
Other times, most years,
The snow will come in April
Mismatched mittens in hiding,
Spring on calendars
Easter Bunnies, tulips
On our minds.
Remember to seize the moments
All of them, even if incongruent
With your plans, Pinterest,
Take the time
Make the Snow Bunny
Your story.
