Bare-Boned

A weeping willow
who sheds her sins
with a quick shake of the wind-

i wish i had words to praise these lines.

Woo. I read this poem three times over in a row. I don't think I've ever done that.

Your words and the imagery are so unbearably personal and relatable. It's like you've read into my soul and come up with the perfect metaphor.

Thanks for writing this.

I love the comparison of general nature to human nature . The free verse delivered beautifuly

As they slowly percolate
deep in frost
so they also reincarnate
bringing new revelations...

Melissa,

this poem is too short for me, I feel you could have expanded on this some more.

It is well written, and I can see why people appreciate it so much, but for me personally it is too much like you are repeating a style which has proven to be succesful.

There's something about the air in Fall,
it begets this chill inside
that longs to snuggle up with my pen

^^
I can relate to this feeling, fall is my favorite season as well and especially when it starts to get foggy in the mornings and evenings that gives a really romantic touch to life.

A very well done nonetheless:)

5/5 Ingrid
