A Tribute To Winter

Snowflakes fall;
They hit the ground;
As I look out the window
They make no sound.

The trees stand tall
To touch the sky;
Scorning the creatures
As little as I.

My mother calls
"It's time to eat!"
I rush into the kitchen
and take my seat.

My soup is hot;
The table neat;
The stove gives off
A lot of heat.

I love the winter;
I love the snow;
And God owns everything,
As we all know!

You know, we don't have snow where I live either, and I would love to have it snow in the neighborhood. Goes to show what experience with snow tells you! I do go skiing 3 times a year, though.

Two feet of snow here, and two more feet expected between Tuesday and Thursday! (Doesn't seem so poetic when you're breaking your back shoveling the driveway) Temperature this morning: -18. Gotta love the wild of Maine!!

That's what we have to pay for the glory of Maine's landscape!

Yeah, Ian told me about it at our GA meeting last week, and I just joined it today. I spotted you right away, in the Hall of Fame. It looks like a good place to publish some articles....I already have some poetry in mind.

You should totally submit some of your stories! They're so good!

Can you only submit stories about current events?

Jacki - You can submit any original stories and it does not have to be around current events at all. We have had stories, poems, book reviews, movie reviews, personal travel experience etc in the past.

We look forward to your article!
