Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Choked Up

I woke up to a wondrous sight -
The first snowfall of the season.
Flakes fluttered in the cloudy light.
I rushed to dress with good reason.
All bundled up, I ran outside
To feel the fresh, new wintry fun.
One piece of nature's art was spied.
I breathed it in - a big fat one.
It stuck back in my throat somewhere.
A choking spell came suddenly.
I just stood there gasping for air.
At last my breath came back to me.

How can someone, for heaven's sake,
Choke on just a single snowflake?
