White Wedding

Kenneth Karrer's most recent poem here was New Year's Kiss, published in January, 8th Runner-up in the First Ever vox poetica Poetry Contest. I had no idea when I scheduled this poem that it would be after a day on which some lawns (and left-out-to-be-recycled Christmas trees!) returned to sight now that some snow has melted.


White Wedding
By Kenneth Karrer

My snow man's gone.
He was there last 
Night.
But I noticed that my neighbor
Built a snow woman
On his front lawn.

This morning there was
A trail of clothes.
A hat,
a purse,
a scarf,
a carrot
that had been a nose
Left leading towards the road.
It's hard to say
Who led who astray
But,
God,
They made such a hot couple.
