Notes About The Poem

Allusion to Noah’s ark as well as Snowmeggedon.

Kindness of Strangers - Kib

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951

KINDNESS OF STRANGERS - KIB

Rainbow-yarn hospitality
Opened to me their door.
Snowy boots laid aside,
Warm blanket and fresh apple pie.
Servants of God, rapport,
Under his snow-dove wing.

You are so creative. I did such an ordinary one for nette. Been writing all night on a bus and not thrilled with any of my poems.

These people sound lovely, solid, the faith of heaven, and welcoming. Salt of the earth people. Good luck in the contest, Kim.
