I think I've found a kindred spirit! I love this. And I'm feeling very much the same way about spring this year-- unripened...frost date long-past, and it's snowing! --And I've been working so hard prepping it!-- just doesn't seem fair. I mean, if it's gonna snow, give me a foot of it so I can at least go sledding.
And if you're teetering on the edge of love... Ayay! Isn't the icy kiss of hate better than dispassion? Engaging your trust is wasted on such-- a warm sigh on air... --Charlie
I l o v e it. Not mad about cold weather, but this is a jewel. Vivid, evocative, creative, and moving. . .and that's for starters.

"summer's lanquid promise unripened..."
WOW! Linda...what a beautiful expose of one's soul (the entire
poem) but I loved this line the best as it is the one I could feel
"gut deep" when I read it.
Very poised, very elegant, very controlled ... and VERY effective in reaping the required result that is deceptively "languid" and yet is hypertensile and laced with a sprung-tension... just like that concert piano. Delicate and yet electric. Fantastic evocation and music to the eyes and ears. This is the elliptical and mystical music of both art and music, conveying surpassing and inexpressible thoughts. Like the most beautiful watercolour, all the better for sublime understatement. Bless you and Eagles report still on file!! :)) LOL Kate xx
Unique indeed and as soft and gentle as that runaway snowflake. Beautiful imagery here my dear Linda...beautiful.

Not one for the Rack Man. But great imagery. Difficult to describe:music. I get similar images with Tchaikovsky's piano concerto, and beethovens sixth...
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.

Beautifully evocative and with its own distinct throb and resonance.
