Crunch

That crackle

Before you break your ankle

And the ice slip

Adventurous trip

And suddenly

The spit turns bloody

Embarrassing

We’ve all seen it all

And i walk it confident.

I love the snow.

    • I was thinking something out of Lampoon’s or A Christmas Story. I can’t remember the movie but it was Steve Buscemi slipping on ice and he teeth were like bloody and he spit one out. Just something casual and funny. Snowy Season still feels like a late holiday season for ENC!! ❄☃

      • I recall, yes! Funny stuff. You reminded me of slipping years ago in Denver during winter. Walking across an icy ground takes practice! Thank you for the response and enjoy the season! 😊

  1. Most definitely on the icy ground part! The first time I learned was in Alaska so it took many chances to have those slips. That was another thought writing the poem when I hit my teeth on pavement and had bloody teeth getting up from the stars haha. No problem on the response, I’m trying to encourage readers to comment and interact! Enjoy the season as well and feel free to comment!! 😄
