I Want to thank you all for taking time out of your busy day to come and witness my hanging

I want to apologize for not posting sooner, I just was not inspired. I'm sorry for anyone who has wanted me to post and has continually been visiting my site and not seeing any new posts (and I got a few of you).  

This is a poem, I wrote, of the top of my head 

On the windowsill

sits a girl

dressed in white

all white

the field in front of her is covered in snow

white, clean, untouched snow

it lies over the plants like a new blanket  back from the wash

cleaner than before

whiter

newer

she gazes at it and a tear slides down her cheek

for it is that snow that will cost her family a whole crop

and there is nothing they can do about it

for as soon as they shovel it up, it comes down again

for as when the new sheet is put on, the old one gets taken off

and after all, can they really stop it from fulfiffling its destiny of falling?

Not my absolute best, but I like it.

The quote at the top was said by George W. Bush, at the dedication of his portrait, Austin, Texas, January 4, 2002.
