Striking imagery Emile in plaintive, evocative shades of "weeping angels!" Beautifully written with powerful emotion in a plaintive melody of the storm! Congratulations on your win! Blessings of calm skies and peaceful weather!

Dear Emile, your imagery is superb, both evocative and emotive. Such potent action and reaction resulting in the beautiful melancholy of your last three lines. Congratulations, my friend, for your excellent win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes for a happy new year.. ~Susan
