Winter Blues

Cottage in the Wood Arms crossed, pacing back and forth poking and prying in every corner peering in closets, turning on faucets humming softly and talking to yourself You glanced back at me and smiled knowing you had found our place our place to grow old together our cottage in the wood I live in our cottage in the wood I live in our cottage alone Look at it now Look at this place Look what has become of it Look what has become of me 2/15/2013

Tim, it is so fascinating to come and see who has written these poems!!! I am seeing a comment I made to you a long time ago on this one. My memory sure is bad because I completely forgot you wrote this. Congrats in my contest. If it had had more imagery, it would have soared to the top!!!

wow, tim, this one for some reason is the most effective of the heartbreak poems I am reading today. I think for the way you ended it. The stark contrast in what you are saying. Awesome, and congrats on your win.

I have come back to this poem, Tim...for it speaks to me......only this time through the eyes of my daughter who lost her young husband in November. There are reminders everywhere she goes....it is if you wrote it for her too. I know I commented before...but I'm drawn back to how it must feel. Thanks again for sharing.
