Sequence-January

Just
beneath
winter's coat,
ivy makes a 
home...
the 
blackbird
forages
yet no song we
hear...
day
inches
evening
towards teatime
light...
as
sunshine
melts away
the hibernal
night

Brian, this is outstanding. Are you accepting Lanterne sequences for your contest too? I am so inspired by this. Thank you. Love, Shar

This is brilliant. I love how you always manage to make forms look effortless, when they are quite hard to pull off, as such - an awesome, visual piece. love, Kristin
