Winter Tanka


Seen in Memory

small white solitude
of flakes drifting onto ice
water is frozen
as hard as a spirit’s song
silenced by isolation

What a gorgeous picture/poem! I moved from NY just before winter, and don't miss driving in the snow, but it makes me smile and think of home to see pics like this. =)

Thanks Faith! We don't get much snow here, either (just outside Portland, Oregon), but I'm always hoping for some.

"Small, white solitude." I love that line. The photo is perfect for this.
