Stumble It!
Snapshot Poem
It's not often during my blog crawling that I find good poetry. I believe the piece reproduced below with the permission of the author, 'Skellie' is a wonderful exception. You can find the original 'Watermark' blog by clicking on the link. You will find some more poetry there, as well as some well-constructed, thought provoking comment.
I remember how it will
happen. Leaves will fade
and brown, the sky will
grow wider. Snow will
thicken in the mountains.
The news will speak of war,
famine, extinctions. Coasts
will tremble beneath storms
called rare, unusual, brutal.
Widows and mothers will
grieve; fathers will fold flags
on the sideboard. Children
will not understand, but
they will rage. Skies bared
by fallen leaves will close
again with fog and falling
snow. Winter will come.

No, no -- I'm not skellie! Skellie is someone else.
I'm Sharon Brogan, SB, sbpoet --
Watermark IS my main site.
I do have a blogging tips site: http://www.bloggingblog.org
But I'm not Skellie.
Sharon - So sorry. That will teach me to do my research more thoroughly in future! But thanks for allowing me to reproduce your first class poem.
