Their < !signature-->branches, bare only days ago, hang low with crystallized ice; reflecting sunlight like many tiny jewels. Ordinary trees stand proud in majestic beauty; crowned kings, by God, on this winter’s morn. Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-15-2000).] |

Ruth, I've seen those tree's in the past, and the beauty is outstanding as is you capturing the beauty in this poem. I love it as you can tell. |

Very beautiful hoot. I have thought often of trying to make words take more shape in my writing, but this, this is amazing. Thank You. Chris |

Im guessing you must live in the northeast from the look`s of the poem...the weather and all I mean. This is another nice writing Hoot and I like the way you were able to write your word`s into the shape of a tree Thank`s again for sharing Hoot. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. And the begining of a new one. |

The majesty of newfallen snow is certainly unsurpassed - and you've captured it beautifully...... Of course, I'm happier reading about it than shoveling it......  |

I love this Ruth. We recently had an ice storm too and it almost inspired me to write. Almost, but not quite. You put it better than I could've. |

Beaytifully done Ruth! I have to agree with Nan (as I watch another 10 cm or so fall to the ground tonight)..*sigh*..It is beautiful to look at but a pain in the ass to shovel and drive in...lol |

Hoot~ Now you KNOW I like the shape of this ! Very nicely done. It was only 80 degrees in Florida yesterday. I know - I know ! Warmest thoughts sent to your tundra. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This was l;ovely, Hoot. A couple weeks ago we had an authors festival and our visiting author was Joan Bransfield Graham who writes children'a poetry. Her first book, SPLISH SPLASH, is about the different shapes of water and each poem is in that shape, ice cubes, popsicles, rivers, waterfalls, etc. Your poem reminded me of hers..great job! |
