Poetry: Shoveling snow

Never Ending Shoveling Routine


One, ..two, ..three

Keep digging

Keep digging

Cold, it’s chilling

Shovel in my hands

Thick shawl around my neck

I keep digging, shoveling

the touch of snowman on my way


Four, .. five ... six

Keep digging

Keep digging

The ice crystal won’t stop falling!

Lift up a kilo,

It brings down again a ton

But I also won’t stop

With a shovel in my hands

and thick jacket zipped up

I keep digging, shoveling

the cloud shapes on my flat


Seven... eight... nine..

Keep digging...

Keep counting

How many times have I shoveled?

It just won’t stop falling

Ten I’ve counted

then back to one I go


And I’ll keep shoveling

for another hundreds of ten lifting up

On the roof of my house,

I am now digging,

shoveling,

the white things under

which have covered the town


...anyone can help?
