And I Realized

I asked the rabid frigid winter wind to forsake


the bidding of its solstice. And I then begged


the clouds not to cry their crystal tears onto

my cold cold feet. 

Then I asked them to forgive me.

For I realized that I had asked the earth not to

breathe, and the heavens to betray their

emotions.

Okay, THIS is very good, Dan. You told the moral of the story with two well-constructed verses. You could have done more, made it twice as long, or even longer, but the impact would not have been as dramatic. Nice work.
