Winter's Last Gasp

1st lover

winter’s last gasp
bone chilling loneliness ....
warm scent of your coat

2nd lover

reaching across miles
sending balmy loving thoughts
returning with spring
distance of  no consequence
cold weather unimportant





For Debbie's " Lover contest"  won no. 5

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/9/2011 11:22:00 AM Hi Joyce, Thank you for your comments on The Edge. With all the hoopla over Catie's blog I have not been up to checking out the list of poems that are moving to the second round, but I'm sure some of yours are. Your friendship is much appreciated. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/8/2011 11:53:00 PM yours is almost opposite of mine! (the way the second one responds!) Yes, it is so frustrating not to be able to answer. You for your computer, me for issue of TIME. I really should go off in ten min. but I really have so much to do here. DRATS Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 3/6/2011 2:11:00 PM Very nice contrast in thoughts between the man and woman here, Joyce. I know it's probably still cold in your area, so I'm sending some "balmy loving thoughts" your way as well as wishes for success in Deb's contest. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
