An Ode to My New Coat

Wrapped in

Tiny, tiny pillows

Downy treats

To snuggle in

On streets

While walking

In snow

Hail or rain

No pain

No sting

Just cuddling

My purple joy

My new toy

I’ve waited so long

This song

Is for the coat

I yearned for

Without even

Knowing it.

Silky sacks of feathers

Siccing all the weathers

I am a child again

Hugging tight

Colour night

And thumbing

Nose at

Snow.
