Snow i

by Jason Wardell

It       starts        off       light
and cool snow fills in
the gaps within my stories
but it’s deafening and freezing
angular and sharp and overwhelming and
my memory freezes over when it becomes
impossibletodistinguishsignalfromnoise
Ihavebeenbetterbutwhenwhenwhenwhenwhen

This is so many different kinds of awesome that I can't even count them. I wasn't expecting anything too mind-blowing when I read the title, but I was definitely wrong about that. I'd rate it higher if the site let me, but adding it to my favorites will have to suffice.

speechless. as I often am when reading your work. you and I, in my opinion, share very similar strengths with our words. I'd love to collab with you, if ever we could.

The creative format takes a good poem and makes it a great one! Very entertaining!

That penultimate line is sheer genius. I too like the creative line spacing and how it makes gaps in the poem reflective of the gaps you allude to in the poem. This poem is profound and thought-provoking. It makes me want to go inward to examine myself and what frozenness might be there. I am with Vince in his praise. Thanks, Jason.

I've always loved how you date your pieces then pick a subject to title them as well. This piece is exception. I definetly think your format and play on the words makes it much more touching.

It makes me think of "Silent Snow, Secret Snow."
