I have done a lot of thinking
about the inside of things.
.
Today I built a dome
one foot square
and solid snow.
.
Inside were the animals
I would have made
if the snow didn’t
get stuck on my gloves
and crumble in my hands.
.
a moose
and a mole
.
The moose had long, strong legs
and an intelligent, wet nose.
He put his head down
into the snow
and nuzzled
until he found a piece of green,
then chewed thoughtfully
whilst contemplating the upstairs window.
He seemed surprised
that humans
have such long legs
they need windows that high up.
.
The mole poked his snowy bonce
out of the tired ground
and peered with blind eyes
upon the bright sky.
I think he was glad
I would have made him.

I like your thoughts Julia
and I yours Audra. Are you taking your little dog to college this weekend? I loved his picture.
No. We will take the dog when it is warmer. It is hard to visit with the dog when it is cold. No where to take the beast 😉
We finally had some snow (here) yesterday.
I brought some inside…the kitchen
for my grandson to play with.
I formed little round mounds for him to squash.
Your thinking of inside and out…is enchanting.
Ah, thank you. Our snow is thawing a bit now – very soggy 😦
Lovely. I very much liked this.
and the sheer silliness of the long legs/upstairs window made me smile
