The wind lifts my hair
Whispers to me cold as ice
Laughing she leaves me

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Okay okay Greeneyes, pop me in the freeze for an hour or two and I'll be freezing and shaking like a leaf while you laugh hysterically! This is a great poem indeed love the way you describe the wind like it is running its fingers through your hair, then turning each strand into an icicle (you'd end up with a hair-do like one of those old fiber-optic lamps!) and then dancing away with giggles on the breeze... you give a ghostly and ethereal feel to the piece and it works so well but the added playfulness really sets this one on the top of the pile for me. A great Japanese style conquered by the glowing green goggle eyed one! Excellent Elizabeth! Dale :)
