Silvered frost Glittering in braids Is woven delicately Through the lifeless oaken arms Creaking softly In the light of glassy stars. Space- cold, empty, And crying tears from shadowed eyes Measures the passage Of my frostbitten thoughts... Only crisp tendrils of wind Embrace me As I long for the shimmering warmth Of you. God, listen to me now For the crystal clumps of snow Bring numbness to my core... An ice-fire of emotion Blazes upon my eyelids I’m lost...and alone As sprays of silvered frost Glitter somewhere Where Springtime’s fertile hope Is still promised. *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |

Alwye, You have painted the most beautiful piture with your fabulous images. Well done! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

An ice-fire of emotion Blazes upon my eyelids I’m lost...and alone As sprays of silvered frost Glitter somewhere Where Springtime’s fertile hope Is still promised. ============= K, Ive simply run out of adjectives to describe the awe I feel when reading your work. you ARE poetry. jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

Oh, Krista.. The lonliness you've described here is exceptionally vivid. I can almost feel yesterday morning's frost glistening on my own skin. I'm thinking that this is a window into your emotions last night. I wish you didn't have to feel this way but at least you can vent your emotions in such a beautiful way. You're always in my heart, sweety. Exquisity writing Abrahm Simons "I'm not sick, but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in Hell." - Harvey Danger |

This is one of the finest works of poetry I've read on this board in a long time. I'm sorry to say i don't believe I've read any of yours, and I'm feeling badly about that. This is simply poetry with flow, expression, and as a nature lover, it is going into my library.. Please write more! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

God, listen to me now For the crystal clumps of snow Bring numbness to my core... An ice-fire of emotion Blazes upon my eyelids I’m lost...and alone As sprays of silvered frost Glitter somewhere Where Springtime’s fertile hope Is still promised. WOW Krista, I feel the ache here. beautifully exressed hon. Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this won't be enough" "Maree Russo" |
