Mikey, you are a creative free verse poet. I admire you and your leadership.
I like the connection of snow, fires and tornadoes, storms of life. We can't forget.
You use pretty colors and white letters to cause beauty in your poem.
I've been studying poetry - Wordsworth, and prose - style and senses, from two universities on-line. God bless! flylikeaneagle - nancy

Michael,
This is a great abstract poem. Your use of descriptive words/phrases takes readers through many scenarios in your mind of things perceived & how you make sense of them. This seems to be about one lost in his/her thoughts while dreaming. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Good night a livin`' a very dark feel to this wintery tale. A cannot sleep missing or cant have the girl or maybe lost the girl thing? Sets the mind off for sure. I shall speculate on my own time. Hehe... NG

Comment from Gloria ....
Abstract poems are high up there as one of my favourite forms. Your use of allusion such as pennies from heaven and the swirl of the tornado subtly usher in a sense of snow without actually mentioning the word until later on the poem. And the last few lines most appropriate for setting the tone and feeling of warmth that comes from a fire in the hearth.
Super job with this, Mav.

A true abstract I would think. For me this is full of dreams and thoughts, imagination and mind pictures. Mostly images forming out of the darkness, out of outer space and the deep reaches of the geographical earth. Am I somewhere near it, Mikey? Giddy

wonderful . You truly understand abstract. I loved the jumping back and forth with the imagery. I haven't been on in a long time, too busy working and school and putting on the musical Beauty and the Beast. I have missed our chats.

A fire in the hearth, crackling...
My very best serene moments are when I sit by the window seat watching the snow fall in eerie silence, while the fire is crackling. That symbiosis between the freezing cold outside and the warm crackling fire inside, preferably with no more noise than some Grieg playing. Priceless!

This is a very nice and well written abstract poem you have penned. I always enjoy words about snow. That is my favorite time of the year, but I do love the summer, fall and spring too. I happen to like all times of the day and night, but love bedtime! lol Best wishes in the potlatch my friend! Teri
