The Damp Chill




We drove through the damp chill
gazing at farms and fields
and country houses



And found the town
a little larger than ours



And drove through the park
with frozen water
and cold geese



And daydreamed about
buying a house
just there

  2. Absolutely lovely in a Round Midnight sort of way..you know the jazz tune with its bleak melodies but so beautiful that you think surely the writer was mistaken..this is a grey day but there is all sorts of beauty to it.

  5. I love the pictures especially the thin ice sign. Boy skating on thin ice should be a sign I carry with me at all times!!

  6. When enlarged, the pictures look stunning. I particularly liked the first one and the one with the geese in the frozen water.

  8. Wonderful photo poem. Enjoyed seeing the touches of "cold" as I swelter in 80 degree temps at 11 p.m.

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
