Rob Carmack Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written: 01.08.24
Contest: Winter Magic
Host: Tania Kitchin

Winter Magic

Childhoods defended with the snowball,
God's annual medium preserved
the young artist's angel fall,
but man had to make himself served.

The grass still green in January
and the bush is still with berry.

Professor Hinkle's global plans
in all and what to engineer
the sleight of billions of hands
that has made you disappear.

Susan Ashley December 23, 2024 at 11:40 AM Dear Rob, a poignant, tender yet pointed commentary about winter and so much more.. one just needs to brush the snow aside to see. Simple in construction, complex by design. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Jan Allison January 9, 2024 at 9:36 AM What a unique take on Winter magic Rob!!, it is SO good to see you back on the site. Some things have changed since you were here last and you need to remove the date contest details etc from the bottom of the poem - just put them in the poet's notes section. hugs jan xx Rob Carmack January 9, 2024 at 4:35 PM Thanks Jan.
