 Winter’s Song Come, Jack, etch my glass Frost my windowpane, Sift for me a powdered lass, Sing winter’s song again Temper me with your will Drive me from my soul Bind me swift with your chill Set your winter’s goal For harsh summer’s heat so long I begged for your sweet cool Now you are where you belong And I, a summer’s fool Nevertheless, Cardinal sings Holding fast to ice’nd limb No, no, he shall not give wing Shall I brave you yet as him? Hoarfrost dresses all in white And glitters crystalline Pond creeks yet at night As Death is stalking sin Do you not hang the sickle? Of crystal promise to pond ~ Do you think my heart so fickle? That before summer I am gone? No, no, I shall await The robin and his spring And I shall hear once again The sweet in all bird’s sing For you think, I am weak And will vanish in the wind ~ yet You know not that I am one With Kansa and its kin ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 31 December 2001 |

Oh brother it looks like it is cold there and you certainly gave me the chills with this beautifully done poem and the picture tops off your wonderfully chilling words. We are all in love with "home" no matter where or what it is, thank you for this one. ~*~ Happy New Year ~*~ |

Kari darling sister of my soul, What can I say except this is utterly wonderful, the ice and snow you've conjured up, and written so magnificently with your pen. I am truly shivering here. Truly outstandingly good darling girl.    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Bravo Karilea ... bravo!  Wonderfully descriptive, and a delightful flow throughout ... Jack Frost has met his match in this magical weave. Wonderful, wonderful!  Best wishes and a Happy New Year to you! /Kit |

Oh would I love to see Winter at your place, must be real beautiful. Where I live it's always about 5 degrees higher then in the rest of this country, so when everyone else has snow, we have the wet mud Love your poem Forgot to mention: beautiful pic tooooo Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... Want to use the pics on my website? Just send me a mail and I'll give you the link. [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (01-01-2002 03:21 PM).] |
