Hi badger,

 

I like the way this one moves, its concrete simplicity. You might de-italicize the end, as the spacing provides all the emphasis needed.

 

Thank,

- Dave

Thank you very much David. Will ponder your suggestion.

It's precisely this kind of work that got me excited about poetry to begin with. There were more conventional styles, too -- I especially liked Sandburg -- but I can remember how the works of Cummings first opened my eyes to the range of possibilities in poetry.

 

This one is perfect for today. We had a cold snap for the past two days, but today feels like the poem, like March again (44F/6.5C).
