TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

A Short Winter’s Tale

I cry red berries

wash them with teardrops

So you can eat them in the morning

with your breakfast

as you listen so intently

to the news on the TV

I want lifetimes

with you…

Without you

I would be

shivering in the snow

tearless

berryless

bereft.

  5. Beautiful crystal berries!
    To eat them right from the bush you have to be aware of your teeth. Lol…

  6. Looking at this image, I can almost feel the icy cold wet drops slipping on my fingertips. Your verse reflects the teardrop appearance perfectly, but before I read it, just looking at the picture alone- my first impression was that each berry seems to be dressed its very own elegant sparkling gown 🙂

  9. I love this! It’s so visual, so beautifully picturesque. The picture genuinely appears to show that the berries are weeping.

  12. These lines (although we don’t have snow 😁)

    “Without you
    I would be
    shivering in the snow
    tearless
    berryless
    bereft.”

    I’m going to interpret it as a mother to her child. She’s in the dorm now as classes started this Monday. She’ll be home during the weekends but you know, I’m all alone in our bed on weekdays and miss her so much. Love this, Ellen! 💕
