I Wrote a Poem

Because it's still snowing and I want to cry; instead I wrote a poem using the magnetic poetry kit I bought myself for my birthday. I like to think of magnetic poetry as a creative challenge. You have an idea you want to convey, but you only have a very limited pool of words from which you can use so you have to get creative. You have to stretch the meanings of words; rely on their connotation, or their juxtaposition rather than their definition alone. It's fun. :) I've had this kit up on the fridge for a few days now, and I'm not the only one enjoying it. My kids have been loving it too. And hey, we can call it free-writing, right?

So here's my poem, just pretend there isn't an 's' on the end of 'throws' and that there IS an 'of' between 'the roof' and 'my house'.
