filaments of snow

           drifting sideways

                     on the wind--

                             old pines

                                     shed their ghosts

    Beautiful placement of the poem self interpretation and clear image with subtle gently falling visionary ending… a moment alive on the page, Jenny!

    Beautiful, Jenny. I agree with Kathabela, the placement works perfectly here and the imagery is just brilliant.

    So believable, Jenny.
    Imagination, craft and art form – all rolled into one!

    ooh pretty. I can just see it just the way it would look like a little nature film, and feel that ghostly chill

    Wonderful feel to this especially when I read it out aloud.
