cold wind day

The cold wind owned the day.

Sniggering, sliding icicle ghost

against my cringing neck,

he bent me beneath his gray face;

pale narcissus was humbled,

hanging face in humility

at his own audacity

to dare flaunt with pride.

Even the audience trees paid homage

with chins drawn tight to chest

with a curious tilt of head.

      Thanks for visiting, Susan. Please be careful with the words you use concerning my writing; frankly, old men are are susceptible to getting the “big head”. Age hasn’t taught me a thing! Hope to be back reading and commenting soon; busy putting in new kitchen and floors. Leo
