From Winter

March
skies
enshroud

hold
tight

while
loosening
threads
unweave
winter

leave
strings
broken
into
spring

spring
into
broken
strings

leave
winter

unweave
threads
loosening

while
tight
hold

splits
tombs

April
blooms

 

Poem by Marsha Foss

 

Marsha Foss, a retired educator, divides her time between her two favorite states, Minnesota and Maryland. When in St. Paul, she enjoys being connected to the area’s vibrant writing community. Her work has been published in numerous online and print journals, and she has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. An added joy is living near young grandsons.
