About This Poem

Winter's Skin

Winter spreads silver skin over lake blood,
weaving the shores together
in a smooth, crystal scab

Caleb Smith Date: 5/8/2013 12:54:00 PM And I hope your new job is going well...Don't over-work yourself now. I know what that mental and physical exhaustion feels like for sure. Right around the first of August, I'll start working 7 days a week for 12-36 hours at a time, and won't have a day off until the end of November...if I post during that time, it's likely to be some weird stuff...ha
Caleb Smith Date: 5/8/2013 12:50:00 PM Hey, I guess I've missed this one...I like it a lot...How did this not make the winner's list? Did you not enter it?...The image is cold and bloody...I'll never look at ice the same way..haha...I'll just be thinking of tearing off that crystal scab..ha...ok that's kinda gross.
