Cold Morning
by Wayne Thomas (Age: 58)
copyright 03-21-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Simple wood-and-paper fruit stand,
tattered sign tacked across the front,
stands strangely deserted
in a white February,
necklaced in icicles,
frosted with snow.
Like a faithful dog,
it stares down the road,
awaiting its owner's return.
And where might its owner be, just now?
No doubt, spending his apricot money
in Aruba, mayhap.
Definitely spending his hard-earned pear bucks
touring the castles along the Rhine,
I'd like to think.
Or maybe, just maybe, he's tossing his apples
to the wind
and taking the trans-Canada train.
Could be.
Of course, he's just as likely to be tucked
inside that little brown house,
with one sleeve rubbing out a little hole
in the frost-rimed glass
and staring out at the half-buried back
of his fruit stand,
staring and wishing,
and now his sleeve is cold.

Great imagery and wonderful story. (I would like to think that the owner is in Aruba). I can picture a shack of a fruit stand frozen in the winter snow, just waiting for its resurrection as a place where people will once again gather to enjoy its produce.

I love this poem. I especially like your word choice. It really paints a picture in my mind. Me personal I couldn't write something like this.
I just love the way it was written.

This was such a great poem. Really liked it!

This was sooo good. I just love how you can write a piece and give it a ton of simple yet discriptive words. It seems this piece has already gotten a 5 praise rating (better than any of my work) I looked over for errors and I didn't seem to find any. Lots of people need to keep telling me to tell people what they need to improve, I would but there isn't anything to improve on hehe. I hope to read more of your work

Wonderful construction, this work is tied together beautifully, from beginning to end. And the evocation of both imagery and emotions--from beginning sadly, through excellent adventures, to the probable reality of the figure behind the window. This is the kind of write that an English teacher uses as an example of how good poetry is accomplished. Excellent write!
