Winter has a particular day for us: 4th February. On that 'Winter Day' all of us want to stay closer to you, praising your verses so warm and lovely! Warmest wishes, Maria

The chill of winter melts away with the warmth of your words. Excellent work Sandra, best wishes, Andrew

Again, there is that shrp edge on you beautiful nature poems. This time I had to wait unitl the last line. It takes an extra abount of skill to do both in one poem. Several of my favorite poets deal with this duality of nature and humanity: Robert Frost, Robinson Jeffers and you. Tom

You should be regularly published in a West Virginia travel magazine because I never wanted to see the state until I started reading you. Blessings, Bill Grace

I love your use of words to make moving pictures and again all of your years of living shared. I am referring to 'woodsmoke blew us away' 'A dropp of sun upon a garden bench' and 'Light raised the bird's momentum, inch by inch'. Thanks for this winter glimpse.

You've done well with the way your words flowed here. You have a great way with them. BRAVO! ! !

winter is a season to be written about, you have done to winter what you do to all the seasons, you brought this beautiful poem to life.

as b'ful as a winter night.. love this line: 'memory locks...........' splendid words.. regards, krishna

An absolutely beautiful, peaceful poem, I truly enjoyed reading it. Thankyou for the beauty Sandra.---Melvina---

A great classic poem that flows smoothly as a summer piece. Or- a winter piece! God bless all poets-MJG. An easy tenner.

Sandra, such a lovely, deeply felt meditation on the little, significant things that go into memory. The last line speaks wells of truth. Esther

Hi Sandra; As usual enjoy your post. There is so much joy in watching and feeding the birds I have an open aviaries, yellow all year finches are my favorite, I also live in the bottom of the United states, 'San Diego Ca.' get to witness the migration of whales, geese etc, Charles Garcia

Your poems, Sandra, are very inspiring to me. Always when I have written your new poem, I think of... my potential one :)

it realy pulls up the sights and smells of winter...........it's like all memories are in this vast basin, and this poem sifts through them and pulls up the ones from cold days, fires in hearths, and frost on windows.

This is so nostalgic...... It brings back many beautiful memories. Well crafted poem. Anjana

This work beautifully written, filled with lingering nostaligic images and tinged with a mix of regret and acceptance. A fine poem indeed. Warmly, Alison

I love the feeling that flows from this one, as a promise, a bond held between two special people, wonderful writing, but then, it is from you Thankyou for sharing your art Love duncan XXX

Beautifully encapsulated Sandra, love the way you describe the yellow finch as 'A dropp of sun upon a garden bench.' and the resounding final line - beautiful. Justine

wow, memory locks all emptiness away. that is a great line. love this sandra.
