Winter Wordgrove Newsletter

It's my week to write the Wordgrove Newsletter. This weeks theme is Winter.
Here's an excerpt:

********
Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
Bill Morgan, Jr.

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure
of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.
Andrew Wyeth

Of winter's lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer's secret
Deep down within its heart.
Charles G. Stater

Around the Grove -
Slim pickins here in Wordgrove. I hope this is because everyone is feverishly
working on their Wordgrove writing contest masterpiece. 'crickets' Hmmm.

Here's the pensive 'Winter Song' by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson.
Although it is a bit melancholic,it still holds the promise of something strong and
enduring underneath. Dare I say, love?

This song brings some thoughts with it. So, without trying to sound too sappy or Pollyannish, I want to remind you that love takes many forms, and its rich comforts are there for everyone.You included. Also, Winter can be brutal, but it is just a season. It doesn't last forever. Remember that! Cheers.

Ok, that's finished. Now I'm off to write something brilliant for the Sixth Annual Wordgrove Writing Contest. :)
