Lego My SnowPlow - An Ovillejo Thing

On this very blizzardly (is that a word?) day, I decided to write a few more Ovillejo poems.  Over at Poetic Asides, the prompt this week was to write a Persona Poem.  I penned two of them, with two very different voices.  That should, hopefully explain the weird, doctored picture, above.

Ovillejo for a Snow Plow Driver

The snow was piling high.
That’s why
with plow, I soon ‘decapped’
(it snapped!)
some mailbox from its post,
almost.
The owner yelled, “You’re toast!”
He witnessed my mistake.
I didn’t swerve or brake.
That’s why it snapped, almost.

Mom Who Steps on a Lego Piece in Her Bare Feet

O anguish on my rug! 
It dug
into my poor bare sole,
a hole
that was quite vast, it seemed.
I screamed.
Yes, Legos double teamed.
But what can you expect?
My foot was sorely wrecked!
It dug a hole.  I screamed.

And now, I guess I'll go back to bingewatching television.  Stay warm, dry and safe.
