GPP Street Team-Crusade 36 Braving the Elements

How have you been doing with braving those elements? Here in the northeast snow has been a major player in our weather, so Michelle Ward's GPP Street team technique challenge was perfect for my state of mind. This poem is one I have saved since my teenage years. I think it was originally published in 17 Magazine and I wish I knew the author's name so I could give credit. It really resonated with me and my life at the time and I've always wished I were the author. Ever like something that much?

I do have a few scraps of poems that I have tucked in my own old poetry book. Of course, I look at those scraps far more often than I do my own poems!

What a lovely poem, and a lovely page. I don't know the poem, and couldn't find it. The librarian in me is frustrated now ;-)

Teri, I like your choice of contrasting colors for your snowflake journal page! Plus, this is my first time visiting your blog and I can't wait to spend a little more time discovering your art and checking out some of your favorite blogs.
