The Gauntlet of Winter's Moon
Wrapped in a mantle of snowflakes
I seek my way through the pines.
I dare to be alone, although I shiver
at every stroke of wind to my cheek.
I will never join a host of vapid maidens
leaning their goosenecks towards the sun.
Pride may be my downfall, but whoever wants me
must forsake all others and seek only me
if he would share the warmth
beneath my glistening coverlet.
The moon bestows light
only in a clearing.

Fantastic write kid.
Your winter is fragile
and beautiful.
thanks Chris. *sigh* I dunno ... is it a bit ???
I'm not happy about that 'pride may be my downfall' bit ...
it sounds too self important or something
What do we have if not our pride?
No, I think its honest,
and no, I don't think its a bit at all.
I really like these ones of yours, perhaps, its the
giving of self involved.
I always told you
you are your own worst critic.
It a very good piece.
ok, well, if you're sure ...
hey, my son is coming home fron America next week on Wednesday. I'm chatting to him on msn right now. I can't wait to see him!!! He's been away for about five months.
He's gonna have to suffer through a whole lotta cuddles and stuff.
Nice when there is a home coming *smiles*

I'll keep that in mind kid *laughing*
I intend to lie in a swimming pool with a drink in one hand and my wife in the other, unless its a big drink, in which case Im sure she will understand lol.

Give her your credit card and point her at the nearest mall and she won't care what you've got in your hands .... *falls off chair laughing*
