Magpie Tales #165 Sorrow

Monhegan's Schoolteacher, 2004 by Jamie Wyeth

She reads by the window 

By the window's moonlight

 Moonlight in cold limbo

In cold limbo she savors 

She savors those words

Those words with a bite

A bite brings sad thoughts

Sad thoughts of tomorrow

Of tomorrow and the cold snow

The cold snow that will cover

Will cover her sorrow

After the Snowstorm-January 18, 2013
