November

came reelin' on the heels of
a wintry couplet chauvinist winds
twisted brittle limbs breaking
the tell of silence winter
yowled a tell-tale
sing snow
well
over
the palings

the valley was white and
glowed in the night - but there
was nought to be said over
evening

morning

burst
in tangled
skein

the face of winter
teasing



Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...

I love a great last line, and we all know that you need a good hook to open with too--but since you already know I'm whacked, I'm not afraid to say that you serve up GREAT poetry sandwiches. All the stuff inbetween is just as yummy!

Back to the top you!

Oh, how I love winter poems!  They give me deliriums of delight!  So as I come to the windows, the doors, peering at the sky for white clouds, and checking how cold it is, I can always depend on you to be beside me, waiting too!  A very special companionship.

I treasure every word of this poem, my dearest love.

I enjoyed the word sounds of this poem.
It's very pleasurable to read, and
filled with imagery for the senses.
