Branches iced by rain Cry for muted warmth of spring And rain drops that drip - Alison |

Hah! It's mighty early in the seasons to start wishing that. On the other hand, why not? |

Good to read your poem again Alison, this one is very cold and composed one. Fine writing.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

After a rainy spell the sun is shining here though the nights are a bit cold. You have such a wonderful way of setting the scene, Alison that your very words make me shiver. Ida |

Such perfect empathy between you and the branches, dear Alison. A true little gem, sparkling from tears. Love, Margherita |

Personifing branches and making a person care about them is so easy feat. But you pulled it off. |

Thank you. Thank you. I read something Balladeer wrote about haiku and wanted to try giving an object emotion and show contrast. I hope I did that. Anyway, I appreicate all of you and send my love. Merry Christmas. Alison |
