Like a fresh spring bud
caught in the final attempt
of a winter ice-storm
or
a scared young rabbit
cornered tight against the
fence in a field by the hound
I am cornered, frozen, encased if you will
in a pitiful state of denial
That you have left for greener pastures
without me
Author notes
prompt; encased in denial

Locked into the past, where they are still there and not moved on, we sometimes dwell in better times. Wel done and thanks for entering into the contest.
Be well and be blessed,

I took a picture like this when the ice storm hit my home state last December! Beautifully written. I especially love the first stanza. Fits the picture well. Good luck in the contest! -Liz

A very creative take on the prompt
with clever metaphores.
The last line finishes this piece with power and sadness. Very well written.
G'luck in the contest

So sad, so well written, and such a delight to read.
