Once upon a time, in a place far from civilization, On a calm, clear lake, set amongst the hills, Was a boat, floating in the night. And on this boat was a fisherman, With nothing but his pole in one hand And a lantern in the other. He sat in the stillness, The boat barely …

Winter Storm

On February 17, 2020February 18, 2020 By Erinn ChildressIn WritingLeave a comment

Inhale the winter air, Feel it chill the breath, Send a shiver down the spine, Raise bumps to the skin. It numbs your face, Dries out your lips, And hurts your joints. But you step out into the snow, The crunch of your boots Being the only sound, The blinding, white surroundings Being the sole …
