On Winter Winds Winter, with her arctic eyes milky as a dead woman’s, feeds on the lack of food, blind to the pleas of hungry faces. Slicing through these brick walls, how she huffs and puffs evening finds her in lofty spirits, stalactite grin in a cavernous maw. Her repeating chorus - vacant vowels, without consideration, piercing peace. © 2001 Corinne Bailey |

I almost didn't come in here because our winter winds are giving us quite a chill factor today. I just didn't think I could handle any more. Good job here of painting a chilling image of winter blows. |

Brrrrrrr No vacant vowels in this one, Corinne, nice work. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Thank you all for your comments! Not a very nice picture of winter wind, is it? Think it reflected my mood at the moment. Corinne |

The whole world is piercing peace one way or another...and I am a part of it just like all the rest of the helpless victims...that want to live love and be happy....this is a very good work of poetry!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

you can give words such great power - you communicate so much with so few words - but I've said this before - but it needs be said again - great poem Corinne |
