#SOL18 3-25-18 Portents & Promises

Winter snow portends
wind needles
dormancy
menacing ice
Piles tinged with black

Spring snow promises
crisp air
green shoots
sunshine sparkles
Soft crystal drifts

My soul pleads
for spring snow
when inside
I am winter

  1. Tamara- This is beautiful! So right there with you! I'm feeling really wintery inside. And not really sure that even warm weather is going to get me to a different place!

    1. Thank you for your kind words and for your response, Carol. I'm reading I'm Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sanchez, which has surprised me with its intensity and sadness. Maybe a good one to save for later, if you're feeling wintery inside. But a beautiful story of a high school girl dealing with grief.

      I hope things look up again soon. Are you on Spring Break now? I hope you get to spend some time relaxing at the Tattered Cover!

  2. I appreciate spring snow too because it's a little extra moisture, so desperately needed here. I love the word "portends" here.
