Brief Moments in Time

by Kristina Woodhill


She envied the pig weather vane
poised atop its highest hope

just before the miracle

Author's Note: My colleague poet tells me I need to learn to condense and cut out the chaff. Practicing.

I like this piece, Kristina, for its brevity; leaves enough for the imagination to fill in the blanks. Chaff, interesting word. I've also heard fluff used also to describe excess wordage.

I can see you seeing this and seeing the poem in this. I need to remove the chaff too. Good advice from your friend.
