| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 03/21/11 at 06:46 AM Kristine, this is soooo lovely. And even though it's a banshee, it feels somehow lonely and ghostly. It's perfect. Thank you~~~ |

Looked you up to return the favor of your kind comment on my poem ... I received another instead! I found your very well written offering here 'Desert Banshee'. I like the stark portrayal of the wind as a banshee, but even more I like you closing that is so very calming and beautiful.

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 05/13/11 at 02:01 AM Hi Kristina. I haven't read any of your poems in a long time. Not sure why I chose this one. A long time ago when I was a child, my aunt had a friend who scared the tar out of us with stories about banshees. Yep, she was Irish. So, this poem resonated with me - but in a good way. |
