Harder Than Most

On this cool morning
I am gripped by the
truth-screaming change of
the temperature of
the breeze in my hair

and realize
in this slipping
away of time
that I am now

headed for
an unknown
winter that

could be
long, and

cold

Are you, by chance, in New York? Brrrr! Seriously, though, this is fantastic! I can't wait to read the other pieces you've posted. I'm swiftly becoming a fan! Donna G.

Yes, oh and I bet she will sting (but with such a good, hard, cleansing sting - a needed bite). excellent Dim.hex, Tracey, loved this one, very emotional and visual. Love me.

Hope not. Perhaps it will sparkle with things silver and new. Wishing you a wondrous and magical winter filled with love. : ) Yes, I do love this form that you have completely mastered and do miracles with. Thanks about the contest. Much love, Shar

Boy Tracy isn't that the truth - Listen in the second stanza first line I believe you left the "I" out - "and I realize" would give you the syllable count of four - Please don't think I'm being rude I just know I would like to be told - Great use of this form - God Bless and have a wonderful Saturday
