Snowman on frozen Lake Saimaa, Puumala, Finland

Forecast:
Fleeting first flurries flawlessly flying
flakes flitting farther
feebly falling to fjord and flat fields
fading…
Friends fabricate a favorite:
fat, festive, fairyland figure “Frosty”
festooned with fashionable fingers
frippery from firs, foraged from forest floor.
Fabulous!? ‘fraid not
Frosty’s frail, fears flames
Fate: to fizzle,
from frozen to floe to flood
Phooey!
After a fortnight, further flakes
Unfazed,
frisky fellows fervently form Frosty afresh!
Folly?
Fret not!
Finale, a fitting (formidable) aphorism:
“Forbearance fundamental:
frequent are ephemeral phenomena.”
from the Firth of Lime, foreign Aalborg
