Of the poems I have read to date, this one is my favorite. Its vivid images and very clear expression are just what I like about it. - poetheart 02/09/02
Black pepper flecks
Seasoning the sky
Magnetically connected
Crows are flying high.
Branches bare and gloomy
Fields frozen beige and gold
A season of contemplation
What will the future hold?The winter of my thoughts
Cold and quiet all around
The stillness is a silent force
In solace I am found.A snowy shining blanket
Covers all within my sight
The moon shines on it knowing
Peace in the shadows of night.
Inside I contemplate the fire
What warmth will future bring?
I melt with aspirations
Of contentment and of Spring.
