    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    First Frost
    God blew a kiss.
    It hit the ground all sparkly,
    A gittery, white wonderland
    In this usually warm, rainy spot of Earth.
    I awoke like the child of long ago,
    Hypnotized by the mirage outside my window.

    A morning with frost still clinging to every blade of grass, and leaf of tree, is a wonderful sight. Very nice, indeed.....................g

    Kisses hitting the ground all sparkly reminded me of that line from Rainman. You captured the dramatic surprise outside your window perfectly. Nice work! Thanks!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
