The wind does rage, Rattling panes that leak Veining tendrils of cold To threaten tenuous warmth. Wrapping closer still The blanket of your memory Round an older Perhaps wiser heart I watch the flicker of shadow Knowing even flames fed well Can be extinguished. |

See...this is what you do so well with "so little" ... you made us feel the cold with your imagery...then let us warm for a moment in the emotions...and the let the chill come back in with those last lines of poetic impact. I dont see "cliche" I see succinct successfull poetry done Capt style "Never made it as a wise man |

I watch the flicker of shadow Knowing even flames fed well Can be extinguished. Well done indeed!! Enjoyed this. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

There is so much hope written in these words. I especially liked what you said about a wiser heart! Good things happen to good people and there is always the blanket of memories to keep us warm. Really nice poem! [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (02-26-2002 12:56 PM).] |
