A Supplication

Trees lift barren limbs

          As if in supplication

                    Pray for Spring's return

Very eloquently stated, Bob. I wish you success in the contest and hope you will check out Washington's Wailing Wall, my poem about the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington. I thought of you and others who served as I wrote it. Love, Carolyn
