A sweet lovely poem by Marilyn Lott! Congratulations on Poem of the Day!
Marilyn, I love this! I think it's one of your very best. Well-deserved as poem of the day. Congratulations!
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

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