and shares it with the bitter winds
as fine cracks
open to recession's call,
in this winter blustered
by such discontent.

good poem
"and shares it will the bitter winds"
that doesn't make sense to me...typo i'm guessing? -
A short but, wonderfully written
piece here. All the best to you with it!

this photo just makes me sad looking at it... such weight on his shoulders... as if it started to rain, and he wouldn't even think to use the umbrella in his own hand. good luck to you.

Your words paint the World's recession perfectly
and the burdens of society hung on shoulders
Well versed and really enjoyed reading... sadly in a way!
Best wishes Julie
