February Rain


rain caressing limbs
transforms into crushing ice
duplicitous destruction

enveloping trees
splintering Appendages
suffering spiral fractures

winter rhetoric 
cracked branches screaming in pain
imminent amputation

    WELCOME HOME, ABE!! It is so nice to know you are back among your friends, and hope all is well with you and your wonderful family !! As always, a splendid and descriptive poem...and it almost seems if you looked outside my window after some big storms we've had recently!! Limbs everywhere! Your wonderful presense has been missed, so I'm delighted to find this poem!!:) Love, Carrie

    Excellent writing, Abe! I saw this sight once when I visited my husband's parents in Kentucky and it inspired me too, to write a poem about it. I did it in a short form, triolet. I love this form you used! Luv, Andrea

    Like your Choka, Abe! We are supposed not to go into the woods because of breaking trees and branches - too much snow this year! Hopefully it will not melt quickly! Thank you so much for your kind comment on Dreaming Leaves...Keep your pen flowing...Gert
