Chill, thine soft breath of incantation
Plains of the speaking, mesmerized
Cracked icicles and mingled tears
Oh father, brother, mother... son
Cold stone, veiled with white blanket
Never tasted air didst thee, darling?
Tiny body, bequeathed to earth
Caressing fear, feign simple hands
Trembling knees plow hardened ground
Alas! For to thee, a cry farewell...

You Blew my mind!
As I read poems from other poets, I am finding those who I never knew were on this sight. Your imagery was sad, yet beautiful. Congratulations on winning the gold!

Excellent
This is so Shakesperian that I can't believe I love it. Maybe i'll have to give that a second chance?... Nah.

excellent imagery!
Your words conjure up so many emotions and thoughts. The faintness of the picture goes very well with your poem.
Good luck in the contest.
