Slice of Life: 17/31 The Lone Straggler

 Snow person roundup,

slice of life for day four, 

Snow Sweep, take 2.

Final vestiges of winter

were packed away 

and carted to the attic.

Until day seventeen when

 I spy his yellow-banded black hat

trimmed with festive holly 

and secured with a red button.

His star studded fringed scarf,

with matching jingle bells

two coal black eyes,

 and carrot nose 

adorn his cotton-filled head.

He shouts gleefully

through a cross stitched mouth,

"I hid in plain sight,

yet you missed  me 

during Snow Sweep 1

and Snow Sweep 2.

I hereby claim for 2025

the coveted title,

The Lone Straggler!"
