Lesson In Layers


How to forget is always lonesome
  winter sun's will always find
Paths of deep deliberation
  makes the eyes and heart snowblind

Isolation wraps it's body
  round her naked, yearning soul
Leaves a hint of last year's loving
  abandonment and no control

From the view she seeks some comfort
  chapters let her reasons bleed
Not a crisp footprint towards those 
  rhapsodies in aniseed

Moonbeam kissed, the flakes do sparkle
  morning comes with blackbird song
One cup of tea lies on the table
  cold and sweet and far too strong

Sharp, clever and very nicely written.

I think you are right. She is alone... with a bottle of wine and a good book, sitting in the window, maybe hoping someone will appreciate her and come in.

You really do a great job here of conveying some very powerful emotions. Well-done!!

Must have good central heating if she can sit near a window when snow is falling outside! Shows she doesn't live in England. lol

An excellent response to the prompt. I agree with Berowne it is sharp and clever, but also somewhat alluring, I found.
