and haiku says:

Stems and roots frozen
Grasses bow in submission
Wearing winter's cloak )

Gorgeous!!  

Do you use your own photographs Alison?
You capture so much beauty, and write with such unprecedented passion.

Yo Alison,

This makes my hands and ears cold.  I'm not a winter fan.

BluesSerenade,

Thank you lots.  Yes, I only use my photographs.  I sometimes take the pictures for the poem and sometimes a picture just demands some attention.  This was one of those pictures.

Steaven,

Thank you so much.  Hop a plane and you can have it about 7 or 8 months of the year.

Thanks for comment.
