tucked against the wind
winter’s game of hide and seek
headless ducks on ice

I think the challenge an affront to the ego of the poet as poets place a bit of themselves in every poem. Thanks for stopping to read and comment

The question is usually asked: "How do you feel?" rather than "What do you feel?"....when you read that poem. Thanks for stopping in Gregory
