RETURN....

Where are her footsteps?
She just glides over and shrieks
whenever it snows.

    Maybe she's a ghost that glides and shrieks over the snow or is there something else supernatural happening here.

    I love the unstated here--who is SHE? The wind, the season, a ghost, an unwanted visitor, even herself? It would be totally different with even one more word--as it is, perfection.

    Very mysterious!

    So many reasons why her footsteps may not be there and so many possible "she's" spring to mind!

    I like to think its someone who slides through the snow like a child rather than making such a grown up thing as footsteps!

    Short poems always make you think what is the big message in the lonely three lines. Liked it! Relates to my winter mood!

    Hi scentofmyheart-
    Thank you..I find that 3 lines contain more than some long running poems..part of the fun!
