Sample Poem:

The silence this afternoon

arrives with the winter light
that paints the objects in the room,
digs beneath surfaces,
colors a Boston rocker, antique dresser
and fills the brick fireplace. Even the dust
under an end table finds texture
and the sofa cushions grow softer
with the silence.
The whole room with its
sandwich plate and apples
becomes a Vermeer still life,
and the silence falls
like shadows in a painting,
while outside the snow piles up on the lawn,
on the branches of the spruce trees
that stand along the drive,
watching the house,
without a sound.
