where does the white go when the snow melts,
where does love go when love disappears?
my own little pondering will give you some idea
of what i'm looking for:
http://allpoetry.com/poem/2596398
i prefer short powerful poetry
built on a strong central image
or metaphor
20 lines max (more or less)
left align
apply poetic device
i'll comment after the closing date
it’s not about snow....
