Thank you all!
Devika- Thank you...and I lov...Wow! Thank you all!<br /><br />Devika- Thank you...and I love your idea about the earth. That's a beautiful way to think of it. :)<br /><br />Lorraine- thank you, sweet lady, for both comments. What an amazing compliment! I'm touched. <br /><br />David- I'm so grateful for your kind words...and to think that anyone would even compare my writing to that of the great Robert Frost is beyond flattering. I love those snowy woods and I've visited there many times in my mind...thank you for taking me back there once again. :) <br /><br />Andy- thank you, friend. :) Your comment makes me smile because I knew that's what you would be thinking! I'm glad you liked the poem despite your disdain for Old Man Winter! ha.<br /><br />Bill- I couldn't agree more! Of course, I have always had a soft spot for underdogs. :) Your haiku is perfect...and conveys exactly the feeling that I was experiencing when writing this poem. There is beauty in every season...how sad if we don't take the time to notice.Kristin Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779222705654595462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368511060345939464.post-18108100905626105952009-12-03T10:20:48.443-06:002009-12-03T10:20:48.443-06:00I've always considered winter an underrated se...I've always considered winter an underrated season<br /><br />I never saw it<br />until winter stripped the trees<br />the curve of the hillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717622168200846486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368511060345939464.post-2119549322569793352009-12-03T06:06:19.485-06:002009-12-03T06:06:19.485-06:00Forgot to say, award-winning piece here!Forgot to say, award-winning piece here!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667955555940467301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368511060345939464.post-35745241855515419542009-12-03T00:19:52.190-06:002009-12-03T00:19:52.190-06:00very nice- I, though, could go the rest of my life...very nice- I, though, could go the rest of my life without seeing snow and wouldn't miss it at all. :)J.
