Warped winter wood, scored and scarred riddled with pocks; once a treasure trove and cluttered stash of cones and such things. Nonsense things no longer missed, but now wrapped in thick scar tissue a branded cover for warped winter wood. Broken branches cast impervious shadows as webs tentacle out with widowed fingers, spikes and spines point towards irony, then deftly erase the stagnant efforts and cast aside hand-me-down yesterdays - no longer are worthy of attention. Yet beneath moldy moss spring violets bloom. - Alison [This message has been edited by Alison (04-21-2010 04:03 PM).] |

... and yet, Mr. Eliot said, of course: "APRIL is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers..." applause for this 'penning' ! |

"as webs tentacle out with widowed fingers, spikes and spines point towards irony, then deftly erase the stagnant efforts and cast aside hand-me-down yesterdays which no longer are worthy of attention." I started out just to highlight the first line here, but couldn't stop as I read on...excellent write...so descriptive |

Dear Bruce, Thank you for the support and encouragement that you continually offer me. You are always there to cheer me on and tell me why you do. Thank you, friend. Alison - Kate, Thank you. I know what you mean - I think the same when I read your poetry. No lie. Alison - Ida, I have been gone and it is good to be back among those I have to care so much for. You are always here for me. Thank you, my friend. I have much to catch up on in here. Love, Alison - Steaven, What can I say? You blow me away. Thank you. You made my day. Alison |
