i notice marilyn hasn't posted a poem in ph for nearly eleven years. as to this one, i like how it flows easily and regularly and is rhymed skillfully. snow-field scene, dilapidated house, and mittened hand are all phrases that show facility with language and fit in meter and tone the rest of the poem. lastly, i like the lack of pretense and accessibility of it. -gk

You are mistaken, Glen. Marilyn has posted three poems just this month, including this one, which is her newest and was only posted day before yesterday!

I meant to say that she has posted FIVE poems this month, not just three.
