Wordless Wednesday


photos taken by Kevin Faries in Springtown, Texas last week

                                                             
                                                     Paralysis by Joanne Faries

                     rain drips
 confused by temperature variations
 it floods, then takes hold,
oozes into every nook and cranny
muscles control of every pore
tightens its freezing grip
 choking branches and limbs until

                 crack
the once strong limber tree yields in pain

              And crack,
the bones break

  6. Great photos, and I love your poem too. Paralysis is the perfect title and your words describe a perfect ice storm.

  7. OY! We haven't experienced an ice storm like that in quite a few years, and I hope to keep it that way.
