Poem Artwork

Snowmen fall from heaven... unassembled.   
 
Beddy-bye Blizzard
 
 
In the hollow of the mountain
Wombed within a crystal bowl
Dreamt the spirit of the snow
Snuggled icy in the cold
 
He deeply snored upon his back
Then rolled on to his side
And as he dreamt of frozen lakes
Downward did he slide
 
Faster as he picked up speed
An icy blizzard  blew
On he slumbered as he snored
Then dreampt a squall or two
 
As the spirit tumbled down
The snow banks piled high
And when he reached the valley floor
He dozed 'neath frosty eyes
 
Then rolled himself into a ball
Beneath a crystal quilt
And as the inches piled high
A man of snow, was built

Oh, how this brought back childhood memories of rolling a snowball down a hill and watching it increase steadily in size as it gathered more snow on the way down. Then we'd stick a smaller ball on top to make a snowman.
The poem also triggered a song in my head called The Great Snowman. No one can remember it - be grateful if someone could. I don't recall the lyrics since I was very young when I heard it, but they spoke of a big man for sure. The only lyric I can remember is 'And the great snowman, was...' sorry that's it! Pathetic uh - but why does this poem trigger it?
He wakes up, turns over - b'jings, avalanche!
Lands dazed on his arse at the bottom - realises he has been made into a man. A strong image. Potential here for further adventures.
