Reviewed on March 27, 2009

What a story to tell!...a Mason of whiskey...oaks and sermons, cattle barons, judges, spirits, and sisters...lovers...another Mason of whiskey...you and me will preserve it all...jelly, cornbread, and whores saddlebred picking out only the finest women astraddle the rosewater trail...Cripple Creek...another Mason of whiskey...

Carolyn, I don't know how you do it but you've done it again. With so few words you have created such a startling image that it lingers on. What talent!

One invisages the souls huddled where they long for saftey, from the storm ravashed tundra..

Great word pictures..

You are able to convey so much with so few words. A haiku is not easy to write. You do it well and I thank you for sharing your gift, Carolyn. Love and peace to you. Regis

This is so terrific! I love the word weave.

Cold night grips storm lashed land: I just love this line... it moves with force. It flows like silk.

Wonderful imagery and powerful message.

Your poem feels damp and cold......and lonely. A superb few words to paint this picture. Done as a Wordsmith would pen.
