Snow Globe

it’s always cold inside these glass walls

the same scenery and no warmth

earthquakes shake me up

every now and then

no place to go

nowhere to hide

though I have been waiting

all this time, it’s been

the same silence and the cold

it’s always the same inside these glass walls

the same scenery and no warmth.

One thought on “Snow Globe

  1. I do like this one. I might adjust the first line (and when it circles back at the end) to fix the rhythm a bit, maybe delete the word “these”?

    I might also change “I have been waiting” to contract to “I’ve” but maybe not. Spelling it out stretches out the line and gives a bit of the sense of waiting. Maybe move the following line up to join it to give that same sense?

    Remember: it’s your poem. Don’t change anything you don’t want to change.
