Notes About The Poem

Winter unpleasantries

Before the luxury of commodes
Worn footpath heading out to the outhouse.
B-line tracks in fresh snow.

This little poem brought a tears to my eyes. My grand parents lived with no plumbing. Very Primitive. Very Loving people. Thank you very very much. Oh the power of one word.

How touching, Timothy. I think it is SO important to have known poverty and kept from it the beauty of modesty.
