6 inches of snow ❄️ here in Mississippi,yeah winter is a bit tough here too. I enjoyed your analogy of winter darkness vs candle 🕯️ brightness 🌻. It seems through the ages folks were going through the same reality.
We can't wait till spring and the sun's warm rays!
Thanks for the link, saved it and will check it out tomorrow.
I am a flake
and melting FAST.
I know this form
will not last.
when I am a puddle
and I look in a mirror
will my image
reflect my fear?
or curiosity?
Is this my shape
or merely a
part of the
footprint
I landed
in?
What might my
next form be?
I could be mud
and turn to brick
or evaporate
to a cloud
that's thick.
Prompt:
Take any cliche and subvert it to bring it alive again in a poem or a blog entry.

Bag of Bones
They said, "This baby, a bag of bones!"
and rattled, "She may not even throw stones"
a bag of bones, where my shadow lies
World War II, macabre with gray skies.
But dreams I've built and spells I've cast,
I charted my course, battled the past.
Alas, today, other lines are drawn,
fears of war wail from dusk to dawn.
Although people speak in whispers low,
in death's embrace, demons can grow.
So, this bag of bones sways and waits...
as, just one click, next war dictates.
Such a shame it is, to undo the seams!
Or let's mend the world, guard our dreams?
I hold my breath and hear the moans
and warnings from all bags of bones.
