These gatherings a last attempt In graceful lace of winter spent This silent fall of fluffy white Will seek its end upon daylight For this the final curtain call Of snowy dreams in last of fall And welcome now the new veneer As spring arrives to bathe with cheer For every fluffy flake drops three From icy chill to green topped tree Another season saunters in These glimpses of new growth again In showers of the last to know Reluctantly too warm to snow This silent time of calm rescinds To bring again the bold March winds Copyright Kkh 3/12/03 |

I admire the way you rhyme your words without forcing them and leave the reader in thought. It is wonderful TD~ |

yeah your rhymes are good. i wrote an epic that should have been called captain obvious, it was so stupic because of how the rhyme scheme was. but yours is great |

Kathleen, I was going to quote some of your phrases such as: "graceful lace of winter", but when I reread this each and every stanza is so beautifully written, I cannot, and it would do the entire poem, injustice to single out such. Just know how much I enjoyed this and how very lovely it is. Hugs, Pat ![]() ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Kathleen, it'll be good when Spring gets here in full bloom, won't it? I love the beautiful flowers blossoming. The azaleas and roses are always beautiful in this part of Florida. ![]() "Love makes the world go around" |
