I usually labored a bit over the "pomes" that I am putting in my other blog as I come across them in my old notebooks. These are past attempts that I doubted were really poetry. Thank you for your encouragement.Forsythiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842925744413303224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287155235812695368.post-36417521364840474122008-11-30T16:25:00.000-05:002008-11-30T16:25:00.000-05:00A beautiful poem.

I also liked the references to sounds: squeaked, creaked, rattled. And the way you kept the innocence of the child's point of view, not being able to figure out who the man is.<BR/><BR/>Good job.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287155235812695368.post-79492921474910806062008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:002008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:00Well done, well done, I like the cold and water f...Well done, well done, I like the cold and water freezing yet your mothers heart is in spring.
