Okay, I really don't ever do stuff like this, but I've been seeing the poem meme that's been going around, and I couldn't resist. I really do love poetry, and I don't read it often enough. So here's my poem:
Snow-Hole
Falling asleep in the snowscape of the big double bed
I wrap my hand around your hand until they catch fire
And the snow begins to melt and we sink down and down,
The fire and ourselves, how many feet below the morning.
Should the fire burn out at the bottom of the snow-hole,
Smoke will escape up the glass chimney into the bedroom.
--Michael Longley
And because I went looking through all my poetry to find something to post, and it's far too hard to choose just one, here are a few ( more of my favorites )
