(67) Zombie Snowmen

See them coming, creeping after you
Closer, closer they are coming still
You try to run, cold ice grips your shoe
Zombie snowman will strip your will

Coal mouths show their deadly fangs
Carrot noses will always smell you out
Twigs are where their arms now hangs
You are too scared to scream or shout

Cold is their soul, they never stop
Feed on you until they have their fill
Wearing strange looking hats on top
Zombie snowmen will strip your will

But I can stop them, I can do them harm
I have a weapon, now them I will face
Ready for them, blow torch under my arm
Prepared to battle them for the human race

They keep coming, more than before
I am cornered on top of this hill
I try to fight, but there are many more
Zombie snowmen will strip your will

I live in Rochester, NY, and let me just say that everyone I know would go apeshit if there were any threat the snow might become undead. I go to a technical school that I have to think is about as well-prepared for the zombie apocalypse as anyone has ever been, and it was certainly a fun series of thoughts you provoked here. Thanks for that.

Laughing coz that's what we do when zombie snowmen are around! What a unique theme, clever thoughts wrapped in meter and more. ' Wearing strange looking hats on top ' :)

lol on your authors note! That's tellin 'em! I love this piece, an unexpected and awesome combination of too things I like! Oh... three counting the blow torch! I really thought you were gonna make it for a sec! Good write!

You have quite an imagination, Chris. I've discovered that, in a pinch, a plain old shovel makes a pretty good weapon--though, admittedly, an arduous one.
Great imagery, projected by a born story teller.
