UNICORNS CELEBRATE ST. PADDY'S DAY
Jack Frost threw
a party last night,
thousands of diamonds
sparkle on my lawn.
Whipped cream covers
the limbs of dogwoods,
marshmallow clouds
float through sapphire skies.
My tea kettle hisses,
I sip spiced-apple cider
and hang a shamrock
on the frozen window
flickering with snowflakes.
Winter takes her last stand
and carves ice sculptures
as tulips shiver in the wind.
I huddle under bundles of blankets
and dream of unicorns
wearing emerald shamrocks
on horns glittering with gold.
