a band of pressure forces
more inches of white on
white.
The white won't get whiter,
but it will get taller.
Stained glass lilies wait out
this abstraction in a window
used for praying.

A number of themes manifest in this short poem.
I like the contrast of the real-life snow with the stained glass lilies, purporting to be alive....and the connection between the element of prayer and the moment.
In fact, this observation captures a definite freeze-frame........
Well done.........

Sooner or later these short pieces must be gathered, sorted, collected and published in one or more books. When would we be doin' that, Lassie? Ron

boy, do I agree with you, Ron!----all the paper bag poems too----don't think I've ever seen any poems begging to be a book as loud as they are!----I really want that book, and know others do too----but how do we convince Miss Muffet?
