trees have shed their sheen
forlorn limbs stretch heavenward
garlanded with snow

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 11/7/2019 1:29:00 PM That time of year when snow blankets everything - we rarely have snow in South Africa - perhaps once every 6 or 7 years, love picture postcards, documentaries and films that depict a pending white Christmas. Great write Robert! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply

Gershon Wolf Date: 11/4/2019 7:12:00 PM Love that image-laden last line - 'garlanded with snow' -- and such a creative garland at that, i.e., all-white! Beautifully written, Bob! Warm wishes, Gershon Login to Reply
