 Okay, I know it isn’t still winter, but it was when I wrote this poem. though the flowers herald spring frost thickens inside my heart a dog barks from a far distance a longing kind of a howl I sympathize it sounded so forlorn probably like me it is alone it is still winter though spring arrives on the morrow I will awake on the first day of spring it will affect me not I will still be alone it will still be winter aye, the fire in my belly like the candle hath burned itself down like the moth to the flame the dusk unto the dark the world moving toward annihilation everyone is gone I am alone it is winter dead ©March 18, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ In America, anyone can become president.

Love the photo and yea, its funny I wanted to post a poem I wrote about the Fall, but stopped I think it's been such a harsh winter, its hard to let go of the anger about it all so the photo really resonates though I fear little snowboy is not happy about it |

Thank you, Emma, the snowboy had to go. Take no prisoners is the motto of the killers of winter. And you're right on when you say the anger is still there. What a winter we had! ~*~ In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem. ~*~ |

It is too gloomy outside to read this...I'm going to wait until the sun shines again and take another look. I won't hold my breath waiting on the sun. Lori  |

Gotta make this quick...Sunshine is like snow, you never know how much you are going to get or how long it is going to last. You captured the cold, desolate feeling of a long hard winter. Bah Humbug! I mean, good job! Lori |
