A Snow Shaker It Is.

Hard hollow base, paper white.
Lustrous.
Smooth.
It reminds me.
Siting perched like a fowl.
A time mechanism.
A snow shaker it is.
Shake, shake.
White flecks float around.
My talisman is special.
Shatter, shatter.
You will always be with me my talisman.
Crack, crack.
Even if you break.
