Winter

Winter

Snow slapping cheeks red
Soaring down hill sides sleds go
Frigid, biting wind.

Hi Richard

Let me say thanks for asking, I have had better weekends. I will not keep the memories of this weekend alive however. I will release them into the mire of yesterday before I fall asleep tonight. Thank you for your comments and reading my pieces. It is good to get back and read these from you guys. Now how have you been? I hope good and that you've been writing. I didn't get the time this weekend. I will make up for it soon. Thanks again, Dana

Hi Dana...

that is the best way to handle it, isn't it! Myself, I didn't write anything of value.. I cut grass and spent some time out with my youngest (Emma) , she loves the outdoors.. and we did have a beautiful weekend here... thank you Richard

The best

That sounds like the best weekend hands down. I have been writing this morning. I have had a few things push their way to the front of my brain. I allowed them free access and out to the paper they came. Three haikus and a freeform. I felt like I had been outside and a fresh breeze woke me. Thanks again Dana p.s. I don't believe any writing is of no value. It all has value we just need to wait until its relevent. :)

like the word slapping in slapping cheeks red , these words admirably describe the tour de force or power or violence of the wind- My regards to you- pink

Thank you

I was thinking of the force of the cold wind, as I was writing this. How sometimes it rips right through you. Nothting like a windy day is there? Thanks Dana
