Snowflake Day (A Poem by Cathy Gruman)


Snowflakes falling
tires treading
we're tromping on this february afternoon;
through the streets our boots will take us
to where we find our vegan treats.
Store facades and buildings stand
to greet us in this new land.
The snow keeps falling on our face
as we're tromping through
with giddy awe of this new place.
A cup of coffee we will find,
the lack of soy puts me in a bind
and you start to wind.
Artwalk studio
lots of fun
for a while
then I'm done;
keep on looking is what you do
so i go outside to tie my shoe
but it's cold so i come back in
my feet are wet
so I whine again.
Vegan store
Eureka!
We go inside
in our new diets we will abide
casing the store
we look around
alas, a wall of "sweets"
we love this town.
