O This Winter

when it snows in April fifty years after Martin Luther King, Junior we pray for a permanent thaw when frost attacks our gardens so thorns and thickets linger we pray our hearts may be that good soil what seeds will we sow this spring the tubers are in, and perhaps beans - without strings - God bless us everyone

First, I love hugs, Second, you are generous in critiquing my humble efforts. More eagerness to escape a long winter, than consistent craft. Thanks much. Peace/Paz/Shalom/Shanthi

Maureen, it is a delight to have you visit. It is great to know the lovers of poetry are like hewers of wood and drawers of water: Living Water (John 7: 38). Thanks to U i feel a poem bubbling inside me. Shalom, shalom!
