Winter Morning

Night has gone to rest in his old shed
on the shore of the frozen bay.
See, there, the trail in the snow,
where he dragged the stars inside with him?

Now, here’s some poetry; here’s a poet. Wish I had four lines of that quality out of my last four thousand.

So much said in so few words.
your photo is also like a great painting. The photo and words combine in a wonderful image.
