Ice Particles Fall

ice particles fall

sadness camouflaged by sleet....

     winter’s frozen tears

I'm inside right now, but reading this one is making me shiver. How you have captured such clear descriptiveness in these few words is amazing.

You used the 5-7-5 scheme and I was glad to see that. There was a blizzard the other day here and more snow coming tomorrow. "Sadness camouflaged by sleet". Intresting thought. I just had a poem come out in the "Voices Israel" antholgy. Look foward to seeing your book! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
