piercing infinity with uncluttered minds: Snowman

Have you ever built a snowman

your face frozen

the sky twirling

with white flakes

of infinite variety?

Have you always spoken to a snowman

tried to see his head of view

the frozen stacked lumps of his body

his black coal eyes

his bent carrot nose

starring at you from another dimension?

Have you ever kissed a snowman

holding his sparkling jeweled head

hoping he might waken

and be your friend forever?

The Poet At Work (new segment)

I wrote `Snowman` in January 2009 for children. The romantic simplicity of the poem is appealing while at the same time nauseating to me. It attempts to evoke memories of childhood experiences but ends on a sour note: why would I wish to be friends with a ball of snow?

The poem was never submitted. More interestingly, I fed the poem though Robopoem http://bot.robopoem.com/ and the next is the result:

Snowman

Snowman have you ever spate?
Snowman your face millpond allocate
Twirling with white flakes of midway
You always spoken chat driveway

Snowman tried to understand strain?
Of sight the frozen stacked canned drain
His body his black coal eyes his colt
Noose starring at your blind holt

Time cause you ever huff?
Snowman holding his looked rebuff
Head hoping he might awaken and spake
Friend poliomyelitis bake

I know the word `friend poliomyelitis bake.` An advance on the poem overall? After reading the robo version out loud I consider it is. Check out the rhyming couplets- I must have clicked on rhyme as an option.
