  • Dedicated to Jackie and Tara (who inspired me to smell the flowers)
                                    

There she sat

Her glass of water

Cold

As ice

Freezing

By the open window

At the winds

Icy touch

The glass was covered

In frost

And the water

was capped

by a thin layer

of ice

That would chip

and crack

at the slightest

Touch

And the window

was a foggy glass

That outlined

The snow covered ground

And

The evergreen tree

Whose branches

were covered in snow

and broke

Because the weight

Was unbearable

That was all

You could

See

Through an

Open

Window.
