+White falls from the sky \
+onto a mountain \
+and so a snowball grows.
+<!-- excerpt -->
+
+White falls from the sky \
+on the village beside \
+but the snow is shoveled aside. \
+People laugh and they play, \
+pushing problems away \
+as the snowball grows.
+
+The white comes down heavier \
+and the villagers cheer \
+but the mayor sees the danger. \
+He travels around \
+telling the town \
+as the snowball grows.
+
+"It's just a snowball," one person says \
+as they stare at their screen. \
+"We'll take care of it later," another suggests, \
+the paperwork beside them untouched. \
+"It's not going to hit us," asserts a third \
+as they walk into their door. \
+"That's a fake snowball," somebody claims \
+as they wear their red cap. \
+"That's too much work," the last person scoffs \
+in his house barren of items.
+
+And so the snowball grows.
+
+One day the sun rises \
+but the snowball \
+blocks its light \
+and its shadow \
+looms over \
+the village.
+
+Panic erupts — \
+the villagers scramble \
+up to the mountain \
+to hack away at the snowball.
+
+The white comes down faster — \
+the villagers pray \
+but the snowball \
+continues to grow.
+
+Finally — \
+the snowball is freed.
+
+One house is crushed. \
+A sigh of relief, \
+and everyone return \
+to help rebuild the house.
+
+The next year: \
+white falls from the sky \
+onto a mountain \
+and so a snowball grows.
