The emaciated hoodoos of eroded snowmen tilt frozen faces toward the sky - a beneficent omen, the fading wafer of sun dissolving in gathering gray.
"emaciated hoodoos of eroded snowmen" - brilliant!

what are these beautiful poetic lines you've been writing? Each one is a gem.

Thanks, Marja-Leena. I only know about hoodoos from you!
Dick: Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
MM: See Marja-Leena on hoodoos - an inspiration for her art.
Joanna: Thank you. I credit Dave Bonta's Morning Porch for the inspiration. I believe the 140-character parameter he's using comes from the limits of Twitter, though since I'm not using Twitter here I feel free to violate it if necessary. Still, I like the limitation.

Let me know if you ever get on Twitter! I'll "follow" you!

Thanks, Peter. Ah, Twitter - way too distracting, and obsessive. Not unlike blogging, I suppose, but just that much worse!
